Wishy Announce New EP Planet Popstar

Gearing up for their third release in less than two years, Wishy have announced a new EP, Planet Popstar. The six songs, which act as a continuation of their 2023 EP Paradise, will arrive on April 25 via Winspear. The announcement comes along with a new single, “Fly.” Vocalist Nina Pitchkites’ says of the track: “This song conveys a general theme of enjoying the present, being in love, and not taking yourself too seriously. Me, Kevin [Krauter], and Steve Marino co-wrote this song around the same time we wrote the track ‘Triple Seven.’ It was one of several demos that Steve brought to the table for us to toy with.” Paradise and Planet Popstar will be released on vinyl as a double EP set properly titled Paradise on Planet Popstar.

Last year, Wishy released Triple Seven, an album that landed on multiple year-end lists on our site, including Best Albums and Best Debut Albums. Critic Ben Salmon wrote that Triple Seven was “not only one of the best debut albums of the year, but also one of the most irresistible, unshakeable albums of the year as well. It takes more than just luck to be this good.” We also named the band the Best of What’s Next, with Grace Robins-Somerville calling their music a “colorful indie rock sound with lots of heart.”

Wishy will be going on tour with Momma this spring, and you can find those dates, along with the Planet Popstar artwork and tracklist, below.
