Bleeds (Vinyl LP, Black)

North Carolina's Wednesday are back with their sixth album, blending alternative country sensibilities with heavy shoegaze. Over the years Wednesday have cultivated a loyal fanbase for their noisy guitar-heavy, narrative-centric songs filled with rich imagery, niche references, palpable settings and metaphors galore. If the singles and track list featuring the song title Carolina Murder Suicide, are anything to go by, we’re in for another absolute treat from our countrygaze pioneers. Keep the Elderberry Wine flowing! - Flying Out 

Can a self-portrait be a collage? Can empathy be autobiographical? What’s the point of living if we’re not trying to understand all the horror and humor that surrounds everything? These are a few of the questions lurking under the bleachers of Wednesday’s new album Bleeds, an intoxicating collection of narrative-heavy Southern rock that—like many of the most arresting passages from the North Carolina band’s highlight reel so far—thoughtfully explores the vivid link between curiosity and confession.
