Though Wild Pink are known for their collaborations — among which include Julien Baker, Ryley Walker, Jasmin WIlliams, Ratboys’ Julia Steiner, and J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.— “Air Drumming Fix You” showcases Ross unadorned and singular, reinforcing him as "a truly gifted songwriter, one able to contain vast vistas within single songs” (Under the Radar). As Ross connects associative ideas of VR worlds, church pews, and “baby’s breath just like creme fraiche,” the track transforms into something truly anthemic. With spaced-out synths and saxophone, it conjures open and unexplored terrains, a natural extension of Wild Pink’s “vast and swooning” (The FADER) sound.
lyrics
Is it real right here
Where the seat is curled?
Or am I shitting my pants
In a VR world?
I don’t know about you
I don’t know about you
But I think that slit of a moon
Has got a spirit too
Her baby breath
Was just like creme fresh
I guess the good life
Didn’t look like you thought it might
Pried the door open with a butter knife
Because the wood swells in the heat
But I snuck out
While you were still asleep
Well did she come back to you again
In a dream last night?
Laughing and healthy
Feeling alright
Pirouetting in the sand
With a souvenir clam
Nature’s hinge
Right in the palm of her hand
Love was the muse
Not to be confused
She was air drumming ‘fix you’
Sitting in a church pew
Well last night she was dying
To get something off of her chest
There was more gas in the tank
But the tank was on fire, I guess
Her baby breath
Was just like creme fresh
I guess the good life
Didn’t look like you thought it might
