With Wishy, indie pop practitioners Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites explore the 1990s- and 2000s-influenced intersection of dream pop, alt-rock, shoegaze, and noise pop. Alternating lead vocals and adding an additional guitarist and rhythm section to the lineup, the project's full-length debut, Triple Seven, appeared in 2024. The next year's Paradise on Planet Popstar combined their 2023 EP Paradise with 2025 EP Planet Popstar, for another excellent entry point to the band. Their next album, 2026's Nature's Pill, was a more collaborative one that further intertwined their founding influences.

Krauter and Pitchkites first met in high school in Indianapolis, but they didn't become friends until a few years later, when they were both playing regionally with their various indie pop projects. During the late 2010s and early 2020s, Krauter released noisy lo-fi pop music with the short-lived group Hoops and as a soloist, while Pitchkites made dreamy music of her own under the alias Push Pop. After Pitchkites returned to Indianapolis in early 2021 following a brief stint in Philadelphia, and with both working around day jobs, they finally came together but moved through various monikers while experimenting with their sound. They finally clicked as Wishy with a fuzzy, catchy mix of '90s and 2000s influences in late 2022 and signed with the Winspear label. Following a self-produced June 2023 debut EP (Mana EP), they tracked 21 songs in sessions with co-producer/engineer/mixer Ben Lumsdaine (Amy O, Major Murphy). Five of the songs ended up on the Paradise EP in December 2023. The ten-song Triple Seven marked their full-length debut for Winspear in August 2024. Wishy returned on Winspear less than a year later with April 2025's Paradise on Planet Popstar, which paired the five-song Paradise with six hazy and uplifting new songs under the banner Planet Popstar.

While Krauter and Pitchkites had penned their debut album separately, they decided to write together for at least part of their next album. By this time, guitarist Dimitri Morris, bassist Mitch Collins, and drummer Conner Host were official members, and Morris and Collins also contributed to the writing process. By then also road-tested, they soon gathered in a small studio in Los Angeles with Lumsdaine; around half of the album was tracked live as a band. The completed Nature's Pill appeared on Winspear in October of 2026.
