Paradise On Planet Popstar

Description

Following up on their debut album, Wishy returns with a new compilation entitled Paradise on Planet Popstar. The 11-track LP includes their 2023 debut EP, Paradise, on Side A, and an all-new six-song EP entitled Planet Popstar on Side B. A dreamy pop compilation, the new EP was recorded during the same sessions that yielded Triple Seven, the band’s critically acclaimed debut album. Named after the five-pointed star from which Nintendo’s iconic character, Kirby, originates, Planet Popstar, Wishy’s latest album, is an antidote to the anxiety and precarity of life in the 2020s. A sunny, hazy reflection on the band’s central themes—love, life, self-discovery, and fun—a compilation of tracks that shows another side of the band's kaleidoscopic sound. Following last year’s enthusiastic reception and critical acclaim, and looking ahead to an already busy 2025, the band decided not to leave the remaining songs from the Triple Seven sessions on the cutting room floor. For fans of Hotline TNT, The Sundays, Cocteau Twins, Stereolab, Hole, Kevin Krauter, Jimmy Eat World.
