Wild Pink Unveils New Single/Video, "500 Is The New 250"
Wild Pink — the cherished indie band fronted by John Ross — unveils their new single/video, “500 Is The New 250,” from their highly anticipated new album, Still Coming Down, out August 21 via Fire Talk. There’s a novelistic impression to the songs of Wild Pink, where characters peer over the edge of potential futures, past mistakes and paths not taken. “500 Is The New 250” bounces between scuzzy guitars and softer, reflective moments that poke fun at the listlessness of consumerism, coping through detachment while finding the punchline of it all. “Took the cyber truck // to my favorite bar ‘Hard Luck’ // to bet on my phone and drink alone” Ross intones atop sparse production helmed by Alex Farrar, “The Steelers are in Baltimore tonight // I got no dog though, I got no fight.”
In support of Still Coming Down, Wild Pink will embark on a world tour, including stops across Europe, the United Kingdom, as well as a slew of performances throughout the United States. A full list of tour dates are below, and tickets are on sale now.

Still Coming Down is Wild Pink’s sixth studio album, and their most refined offering to-date. Continuing along the shredded and steely path forged by 2024’s Dulling The Horns — named one of the year’s best albums by Vogue, Consequence, Paste and more — Still Coming Down doubles down on Wild Pink’s “proper Rock” (Stereogum, Best Albums of 2024) and sticks every landing. Dulling The Horns saw Wild Pink reach new levels of critical acclaim and live success, performing alongside the likes of indie torchbearers Dr. Dog, Crumb, and MJ Lenderman (who lends his guitar skills on Still Coming Down). Still Coming Down finishes out the ride of those highs, settling into a life on the road and reflecting these experiences across a warped and encyclopedic vision of America. Led by John Ross, “one of the best lyricists in indie music” (The Guardian), Wild Pink hunkered down in Asheville’s storied Drop of Sun Studios to record Still Coming Down with virtuosic producer Alex Farrar (Bnny, Wednesday, Samia). At once strange and familiar, Wild Pink’s Still Coming Down is a product of modern times that only John Ross could pen.
