CoSigns: Wednesday Are New, Old, and Everything In Between

You might have already caught wind of Wednesday, but with their new album Rat Saw God, the Asheville indie rock outfit are set to take things to the next level. That's why they've received the Consequence CoSigns stamp of approval for March 2023!
In this exclusive interview, vocalist Karly Hartzman, guitarist Jake Lenderman, lap steel player Xandy Chelmis, and drummer Alan Miller talk about their new album's mood board, being labeled as "countrygaze," and dropping the eight-and-a-half-minute "Bull Believer" as the lead single.

the suffix -gaze is just lazy at this point. There's really nothing in their music that suggests a connection to shoegaze lol.

Except the fuzz that drowns songs like bull believer, I feel like thats pretty clear influence. They have even cited MBV as a large influence on their sound as well.

@@DomDizzler5053 Fuzzed-out guitars don't automatically throw a band into the Shoegaze category. Also, many people cite MBV as an influence without having a shoegaze sound. Not that it ultimately matters, but Shoegaze is marked by its tendency towards heavy reverb, buried vocals, and open and washy chords with a dreamlike quality. There's nothing about Wednesday's music that suggests those elements. Conversely, Wednesday is raw, dry, mostly intelligible, and noisy. Not the same thing.

@@DomDizzler5053 I stand corrected. Listened to Twin Plagues and there's definitely some shoegaze on there!! lmao
