There’s an expected sentimental undercurrent on ILYSM, especially in the album’s many references to animal life. It’s a stark and sappy departure from earlier Wild Pink tracks like “ Oversharers Anonymous,” in which Ross’ tender voice brilliantly contrasts with the song’s scathing critique of social media. “It’s not how hard you try, it’s what you’re all about,” sings Ross at his most bearably earnest. Ross is in the thick of these emotions on the opener, “Cahooting the Multiverse”-a twinkling, full-band ballad with lyrics that a high school senior might pick for his yearbook quote. Tragedies like an unexpected diagnosis or the loss of a loved one can rob you of all your confident and clever opinions about the world-the kind that Wild Pink’s early albums were chock-full of-and reduce you to big, simple emotions: sad, scared, grateful, awestruck.
