Oakland's Wild Pink are following their widely acclaimed 2018 album Yolk In The Fur with the EP 5 Songs, due out this Friday, March 1. The EP consists of three remixes and two unreleased tracks from the Yolk In The Fur sessions, and today they're sharing one of those tracks, 'Coaches Who Cry.' Billboard premiered the song today, writing, 'It's packed with homemade grandeur, with mood-setting acoustics and cryptic lyrics leading to a dramatic finish.' In an accompanying interview, frontman John Ross shared the song's origins, saying, 'The ending is about a memory I have of being really young, when on one particular Thanksgiving, all of our family, friends, and neighbors smoked turkeys in a smoker in our yard. It was snowing pretty hard and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I grew up in a town that was small at the time and had a strong sense of community. Which I think informed the person I've become.'
