Ahead of the release of their forthcoming album Planet Popstar, due for release on April 25th via Winspear, Wishy have dropped new single “Over and Over.” In other highlights, the banned recently appeared on Late Night With Stephen Colbert. “Over and Over” arrives ahead of a recently announced a run supporting Momma that begins in May, and their previous single “Fly.”

Wishy’s latest offering is a sun-soaked, hazy reflection on the band’s central themes–love, life, self-discovery and having fun. It’s a compilation of tracks that, when presented as a unit, shows another side of the band’s kaleidoscopic sound that deftly plays with nostalgia and genre. “We really wanted to lean into the high-production style and had a lot of fun in the studio using these songs as an opportunity to explore a more polished, adult-contemporary feel” says singer/guitarist Kevin Krauter.

The EP’s title track was released in late 2024, and is named for the glowing, five pointed star that the iconic bubblegum-pink Nintendo character Kirby hails from. With lead vocals from Krauter, a wash of heavy guitar tones and production plucked from the early aughts, and sweetened by Nina Pitchkites’ dreamy backup harmonies, the track is a bite-sized antidote to the anxiety and precarity of life in the 2020s.

Kevin Krauter on “Over and Over:”

The major themes of this song revolve around desire, ambition, disappointment, acceptance, playing the cards you’re dealt, etc. I wrote this song in 2020 before the band existed, and since then had no plans to properly record and release it. I knew Ben would crush it on the mix and production, however, and Nina’s voice would send it over the edge. It simply had to be a Wishy song.
