Paradise + Mana: Cassette Bundle
Paradise + Mana: Cassette Bundle
Wishy’s two 2023 EPs Mana on purple tint cassette and Pradise on red cassette. Originally self-released in June 2023, Mana captures the band in its first iteration as they honed in their blistering, euphoric cassette-pop sound ahead of their critically acclaimed Winspear debut, Paradise.
Introducing Wishy, a brand new band from celebrated Indiana songwriters Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites. Wishy came to life as a musical partnership between the two Indianapolis musicians when Pitchkites moved back home from Philadelphia in 2021. The two bonded over their love for 90s alternative bands like The Sundays and My Bloody Valentine and soon began crafting their own brand of swirling pop-rock with an introspective, grungy flair.
By day Krauter works as a music teacher, giving drum and guitar lessons to students, while Pitchkites is a seamstress by trade and often makes embroidered merch for the band. While Krauter spent the better part of the last decade cementing his place as a torchbearer of Midwestern dream pop with 2018’s Toss Up and 2020’s Full Hand, Pitchkites delved into her own indie electro-pop project Push Pop, writing songs like “Spinning” that would later be reworked for Wishy. To round out the live band, Pitchkites and Krauter enlisted guitarist Dimitri Morris, bassist Mitch Collins, and drummer Conner Host.
