Over the past nine years, the New York-based band Wild Pink has established itself as one of the most consistently versatile and engaging groups in indie rock. Wild Pink’s recent 2024 LP Dulling the Horns has attracted critical acclaim for frontman and lead songwriter John Ross's introspective lyrics, which draw from deeply personal experience and a sea of pop culture curiosities from J.R.R. Tolkien to Michael Jordan. The album's bold and unexpected storytelling is supported by what Stereogum defines as a "heavy sonic palette with huge, reverberating distorted chords" and what Pitchfork calls "simultaneously weirder and more fun than anything else in Wild Pink's discography." The band’s triumphant return to the Lincoln Center Atrium, as part of the Songwriter/Storyteller series, will offer unique insight into Ross’s storytelling process, exploring how he reflects his truth through music.
