Dulling The Horns (Blue/Yellow Splatter Vinyl) [VINYL]

Dulling The Horns (Blue/Yellow Splatter Vinyl) The genesis of "Dulling The Horns" goes back to late 2022, when Ross began workshopping new material during soundcheck on the ILYSM tour. Last summer, Wild Pink decamped to western Massachusetts to reunite with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato. Ross decided to record "Dulling The Horns" live in the room, in an effort to capture Wild Pink's on-stage style - rawer, grainier. Gone are the glimmering atmospherics and studio affectations of recent Wild Pink outings. Instead, Ross' voice is haggard against the humid distortion coating every song. "I wanted to make economical songs," Ross explains. "Music that is very much at its core three or four people rocking." If before, Wild Pink took notes from Springsteen and Petty, they've now entered their Crazy Horse era. On "Dulling The Horns", you can hear him rediscovering the fire in real time. Tropes discarded along the roadside, songs pulled from the formative DNA of rock music, all filtered through years of messy fog.
