Wild Pink - Dulling The Horns (October 4, 2024) • Page 7

Yep - me too

 

Yeah this is also one of my fave albums the year, if not my favorite. So excited to see them on Friday, really itching to hear some of these new songs live!

 

Probably my aoty too

 

It’s top 3 for me

 

Haha yeah I knew he moved to that area from the A Billion Little Lights live play through they streamed during that albums release. I was driving to the Dutchess county fair a while back and passed a sign for Burger Hill then thought “Ohhhh righhhht!”

 

I knew that there was some local connection, but I wasn't expecting him to live like 2 miles away from me haha

 

listened on the drive home tonight, specifically had the guitar tone at the forefront when listening because I had randomly thought of this post and
1) yeah it’s great
2) ‘Cloud or Mountain’ has a tone that is so Pixies and it fucking rocks, more bands should lean into that sound

 

Listening to Wild Pink on the ride home tonight, thinking about how John has sang about “watching Heat in the evening” and on the new album references ‘Donnie Brasco’

Begs the question / homage to Pacino specifically or just a shout out to gangster movie genre in general?

If it’s the former- hoping for a song shouting out Dog Day Afternoon next

 

Next album is a Cruising concept record

 

How’s the tap here also has a sopranos reference so I would assume he just like gangster stuff

 

HYLI Vol. XCIII - Sabella and Wild Pink

wrote about this for the newsletter

 

I am at the Empty Bottle show in Chicago, a venue in which I have seen this band countless times over the years, and they’ve always just drawn okay crowds but this time the show is sold out and very packed and it’s really cool to see that more people are catching on to this band and how damn good they are.

 

Fucking finally, that rules

 

The show was amazing! The new songs of course sounded fantastic! Definitely catch them if they’re headlining or opening for MJ Lenderman nest you, they are sounding real good right now.

 

Setlist.fm is showing a lack of Pacific City in the sets, which is a bummer but still excited to see them next week

 

When I saw them after ILYSM dropped, they only played new songs that would eventually come out on Dulling the Horns. I get the sense they just play what they want live, which is dope, but leads to them not really getting into the earlier stuff.

 

Yeah, I figured, they are such a strong band, specifically the last 3-4 albums, just feels like they are leaving a lot of meat on the bone as far as awesome setlists

 

They added a show in Virginia:

 

Does anyone know what time they’ve been going on?

 

Tonight's my Wild Pink show! Really looking forward to this one

 

Can’t believe how small the venue was in Philly. They should be playing fuckin stadiums, man

anyway, songs sounded huge
