Wishy Discuss Indianapolis Hometown and New Album Nature's Pill

In a recent interview with frankie, the indie rock band Wishy discussed their roots in Indianapolis and their second album, Nature's Pill. They characterized Indianapolis as a humble Midwestern city with a vibrant arts community. Highlighting the local music scene, they pointed to State Street Pub, a renowned venue owned by Mark Tester, as the top spot for live performances, emphasizing its role in the indie, punk, and experimental genres. Nature's Pill was recorded at producer Ben Lumsdaine's home in Los Angeles, where he transformed his second bedroom into a studio for a more personal touch. The band identified "Sensational" as the song that encapsulates Indianapolis, thanks to local artist Jess Dunn's impressive stop-motion video work. They acknowledged the influence of all local musicians, especially naming Living Dream as a favorite. A tour of their hometown would certainly feature State Street Pub, and they also mentioned tentative plans for an Australian tour in 2027.
