You could call Wishys story a lucky one. After prior monikers and iterations, Wishy was born as a kaleidoscope of alternative musics semi-recent history, with traces of shoegaze, grunge and power-pop swirling together. On Triple Seven, Indiana songwriters Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites musical synergy proves itself to be a rare onethe kind that sounds like someone striking gold. Part sly wink and part warm gratitude, its only fitting their much anticipated full length debut is titled Triple Seven.

The album is a loose web of vignettes and snapshots, capturing Krauter and Pitchkites in a whirlwind couple of years exiting the pandemic, embarking on an embryonic project, making sense of their musical pasts while forging a musical future alongside one another, each of them on a journey of self-acceptance and self-understanding. Sometimes gorgeous, sometimes festering, and always cathartic, Triple Seven is a vibrant and exhilarating document of self-discovery with the scope and heft of the bygone big-budget rock albums that inspired it.
