Wishy’s second album poses a fascinating hypothesis: What if, instead of grunge disrupting popular culture in the ’90s, our shopping malls, MTV broadcasts, and teen-movie soundtracks were dominated by the sounds of shoegaze and dream-pop? On Nature’s Pill, the Indianapolis indie quintet gives these traditionally esoteric styles of wallflower music an accessible, upbeat spin by loading each of these 12 tracks with punchy pop hooks while retaining that essential hazy-headed vibe. The opening “All the Rage” might be about feeling so numbed by a breakup that you can’t even be bothered to watch TV, yet its joyously jangly guitars and effervescent harmonies (courtesy of lead-singers/guitarists Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites) make it feel like it could be the opening theme to some alternative version of Friends. But while Nature’s Pill is packed with similarly brisk and blissful delights—like the washed-out power pop of “Lovesick”—it also betrays Wishy’s growing interest in beat science, by setting the crunchy arena-ready riffs and ecstatic chorus of “Sensational” to some bongo-slapped, Madchester-bound funk. Our Favorite Moment: When the buoyant acoustic groover “Mona Lisa” shifts into a woozy psychedelic midsection where Krauter drops an interpolation of The Velvet Underground’s “Femme Fatale.”
