Wild Pink has spent years quietly becoming one of the most emotionally precise bands in American rock, the kind that rewards patient listeners with lyrics that land like a letter you weren't expecting. John Ross writes songs that feel lived-in rather than performed, and the New York-based band's trajectory from indie folk-leaning roots toward full-throated guitar rock has been one of the more compelling slow burns of the past decade. Still Coming Down is Wild Pink's sixth studio album, and their most refined offering to-date. Continuing along the shredded and steely path forged by 2024's Dulling The Horns - named one of the year's best albums by Vogue, Consequence, Paste and more - Still Coming Down doubles down on Wild Pink's "proper Rock" (Stereogum, Best Albums of 2024) and sticks every landing. Dulling The Horns saw Wild Pink reach new levels of critical acclaim and live success, performing alongside the likes of indie torchbearers Dr. Dog, Crumb, and MJ Lenderman (who lends his guitar skills on Still Coming Down). Still Coming Down finishes out the ride of those highs, settling into a life on the road and reflecting these experiences across a warped and encyclopedic vision of America. Led by John Ross, "one of the best lyricists in indie music" (The Guardian), Wild Pink hunkered down in Asheville's storied Drop of Sun Studios to record Still Coming Down with virtuosic producer Alex Farrar (Bnny, Wednesday, Samia). At once strange and familiar, Wild Pink's Still Coming Down is a product of modern times that only John Ross could pen.
