Wild Pink Shares New Single "Sprinter Brain", 'Dulling The Horns' Out October 4th !
Wild Pink is back today with another taste from the forthcoming new record. “Sprinter Brain” takes its name for a band in-joke — about one particularly stressful sprinter van tour that plagued Ross — but cloaks one of the album’s most touching stories as Ross juxtaposes his anxiety against his wife’s solidarity. Centered around a driving riff that invokes the heartland rock of the band's earlier work, the track ranges towards thundering shoegaze textures before abruptly mellowing during a saxophone-laden ambient bridge, compressing a career's worth of sonic development into its 3 and a half minute run time.
Ross says of the song:
This song is kind of about learning how to deal with your problems and not catastrophizing. Just trying to be more realistic and objective when times get stressful. It’s one of the faster songs I’ve written in a while and really fun to play live.
In support of the album Wild Pink will be touring extensively in North America, the UK and Europe. Full details of those dates can be found below.
