According to Gray, the songs on Wishbone were written over the past two years in private moments between tours and after performances. “Over the past two years, I’ve been secretly writing songs,” he said. “After shows in the basements of venues, in hotel beds, between tours, I’d come home and write the things I felt nobody wanted to hear. Maybe even the things I didn’t want people to hear.”

The album reunites Gray with Grammy-winning producer Dan Nigro, who previously worked on his debut EP Sunset Season (2018) and his albums Kid Krow (2020) and Superache (2022). Nigro serves as executive producer, joined by Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser, and Elvira.
Gray described Wishbone as a project rooted in personal storytelling. “I didn’t know what story I was telling, I was just living in it,” he said. “Slowly, I started to see myself in full picture, the slivers of myself I’d always been, but never faced.”
