Wild Pink is now a bit over a year removed from the release of their most recent album, A Billion Little Lights (which Uproxx’s Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen both named one of their favorite albums of 2021 on Indiecast). Now, the John Ross-led group is back with a new six-minute single, “Q. Degraw,” which is driven by aggressive rock stomp while still featuring the group’s signature airiness.
Ross says of the song, “This song is about my experiences with some health problems and how an extremely stressful situation can sharpen your focus on what’s important in life. It’s also about how that stress can sometimes cause you to dissociate from yourself.”
He previously noted the late-2021 single “Florida” “puts a period at the end of the A Billion Little Lights sentence, in my mind,” so it would seem “Q. Degraw” perhaps kicks off a new era for the group.
