Led by John Ross, Wild Pink have announced their new LP, Dulling the Horns, which will be released on October 4 via Fire Talk. Ahead of the album, they have released its lead single, “The Fences of Stonehenge.” Watch the visualizer below. Also, find Dulling the Horns tracklisting and cover art, as well as the band’s tour dates.

Wild Pink’s last album, ILYSM, came out in 2022 via Royal Mountain and was the quick follow-up to 2021’s A Billion Little Lights (also on Royal Mountain). ILYSM was in conversation with mortality and love as Ross battled with a cancer diagnosis. Dulling the Horns catches Ross on the other side of his battle, retelling a new story. In a press release, Ross says: “You zoom out, and I’m very fortunate. But Dulling the Horns came from the feeling of figuring out how do you deal with things and move forward and just keep creating.”

Of the new track “The Fences of Stonehenge” Ross adds: “I was messing around with some classic sounding lyrical tropes because I wanted to pick them apart as a song idea but also because they actually sounded good as lyrics. I think it works because this song is kind of about figuring out what to do when you realize you outgrew a lot of stuff you used to like. This song came together somewhat quickly and I was pretty sure it was gonna be the album opener when I was writing it.”

In March, Wild Pink released the new song “Air Drumming Fix You,” which is not featured on the new album but was one of our Songs of the Week.
