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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBleeds is not only the best Wednesday record—it’s also the most Wednesday record, a patchwork-style triumph of literary allusions and outlaw grit, of place-based poetry and hair-raising noise. Karly Hartzman—founder, frontwoman, and primary lyricist—credits Wednesday’s tightened grasp on their own identity to time spent collaborating on previous albums, plus a tour schedule that’s been both rewarding and relentless. “Bleeds is the spiritual successor to Rat Saw God, and I think the quintessential ‘Wednesday Creek Rock’ album,” Hartzman said, articulating satisfaction with the ways her band has sharpened its trademark sound, how they’ve refined the formula that makes them one of the most interesting rock bands of their generation. “This is what Wednesday songs are supposed to sound like,” she said. “We’ve devoted a lot of our lives to figuring this out—and I feel like we did.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust like Rat Saw God, one of the defining rock \u0026amp; roll records of the 2020s so far, Bleeds came together at Drop of Sun in Asheville and was produced by Alex Farrar, who’s been recording the band since Twin Plagues. Hartzman again brought demos to the studio, where she and her bandmates—Xandy Chelmis (lap steel, pedal steel), Alan Miller (drums), Ethan Baechtold (bass, piano), and Jake “M.J.” Lenderman (guitar)—worked as a team to bulk-up the compositions with the exact right amounts of country truth-telling, indie-pop hooks, and noisy sludge. More than ever, the precise proportions were steered by the lyricism—not only its tone or subject matter, but also the actual sound of the words, as well as Hartzman’s masterfully subjective approach to detail selection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery image or scene is filtered through Hartzman’s agile, writerly brain. The particulars deemed essential all contain revelations about Hartzman’s specific obsessions and vulnerabilities, about the fragmented way she processes the world. Maybe sometimes the best way to locate truth or pain or dignity within your own life story, Bleeds suggests, is by crawling into someone else’s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ice Cream","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50732579815712,"sku":null,"price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/doc428.wednesday.bleeds.digital.cover_1_.3000x3000-d156e48d6a173c3544b334fd060860b5.jpg?v=1758749443"},{"product_id":"slowdive-everything-is-alive-cd","title":"Slowdive • Everything Is Alive | CD","description":"\u003carticle class=\"container-fluid constrain-content-center product-article\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content pt-1\" class=\"ng-tns-c14-155 ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 px-3 py-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ng-tns-c14-155\"\u003eeverything is alive, Slowdive's 5th record, is exactly what the title suggests: an exploration into the shimmering nature of life and the universal touch points within it.  While there are parts of this record that could sit neatly next to the atmospheric quality of 1995's Pygmalion; everything is alive also manages to break down the boundaries of what’s come before it. Spanning psychedelic soundscapes, pulsating 80's electronic elements and John Cale inspired journeys, the album lands immediately as something made for the future; which figures, as their fanbase has grown younger \u0026amp; younger as time has gone on.  For a genre that is often thought of as divisive, and often warrants introspection, here Slowdive show their craft as the masters of it by pushing it outwards, beyond the singular; the end result being a record which feels as emotional and cathartic as it is hopeful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Dead Oceans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50808248402208,"sku":"656605153223","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/DOC232.jpg?v=1760640714"},{"product_id":"drab-majesty-an-object-in-motion-cd-ep","title":"Drab Majesty • An Object In Motion | CD EP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe latest EP from Drab Majesty marks the start of a stirring new chapter in the band's majestic legacy. Written during a 2021 retreat to the remote coastal Oregon town of Yachats, Deb Demure leaned into the neo-psychedelic resonance of a uniquely bowl-shaped 12-string Ovation acoustic\/electric guitar. After early morning hikes in the rain, Deb would record ambient guitar experiments the rest of the day, tapping into \"flow states,\" letting the sound lead the way. These sessions were then refined or recreated, and later elevated further with key collaborations by Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, M83, Air), and Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Circular Ruin Studio). An Object In Motion is true to its title, capturing the chrysalis moment of an artist evolving, reborn and untethered, silhouetted against an open horizon.\"Cape Perpetua\" kicks off the collection's divergent palette: sparkling acoustic finger-picking refracted through delay, equal parts raga and reverie. Melodies and moods congeal and dissipate, at the threshold of rustic American primitivism, brooding neo-folk, and pastoral melancholia. \"The Skin And The Glove\" deploys jangle to different effect – baggy, soaring, grey-skied kaleidoscopic pop in the spirit of Stone Roses, Primal Scream, and The Glove. Rachel Goswell lends her iconic freefall voice to The Cure-esque ballad, \"Vanity,\" infusing poetic gravity to the doomed refrain: \"If the valve breaks \/ then the earth quakes \/ and history finds a way \/ to put you in your place.\"\"Yield To Force\", the closing track of the EP, may be the most anomalous offering of the set. A 15-minute instrumental odyssey of cyclical strings, ominous slide guitar, and simmering synthesizer, the piece sways and spirals like a long zoom into distant storm clouds. Demure finesses the guitar with a restless but regal grandeur, unfolding a panorama of peaks, shadows, and plateaus. It’s music both intuitive and prophetic, tracing the slow swing of pendulums across an endless plain. Taken as a whole, An Object In Motion presents a showcase of potential futures from Drab’s evolving domain, their sound poised to bloom at the precipice of transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAIS Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50808252006688,"sku":"683950556614","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/DAIS205.jpg?v=1760633780"},{"product_id":"wet-leg-moisturizer-cd","title":"Wet Leg • Moisturizer | CD","description":"","brand":"Domino Record Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50820318691616,"sku":null,"price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/WetLeg_Moisturizer.jpg?v=1760994940"},{"product_id":"guitar-were-headed-to-the-lake-cd","title":"Guitar • We're Headed To The Lake | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePortland’s Indie rock band Guitar continues to make heavy waves in the underground music scene with their fearlessly experimental, ever-evolving sound and commanding showmanship. Fusing elements of 90’s slacker rock, post-punk and beatmaking, Guitar accomplishes multitudes, challenging their audience to think harder about what they actually need from music. The answer is that they need more Guitar. In his book The Trial, Franz Kafka said, “From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.” These words ring true as Guitar releases their second and most powerful LP to date, We’re Headed to the Lake, available this fall from Julia’s War.Saia Kuli, Guitar’s songwriter and producer, grew up in the outskirts of Portland in a working-class part of town affectionately called The Numbers. There, Kuli, cut his teeth endlessly demoing songs, finding his vision and voice, muscling to find a place as an outsider in the tightly-knit Portland scene. After some trial and error, Kuli formed the band Gary Supply then later joined Nick Normal’s rotating cast of guitar-slingers , carving his place within the Portland punk scene. After riding the rock wave for several years, newly inspired by the prolific beatmaking of producers like MF Doom and Madlib, Kuli withdrew into his Ableton beat lab to explore new modes of songwriting. But no one can escape the power of rock and roll, and Kuli found himself staring at the guitar in the corner of his bedroom. Reinvigorated by bands like Guided By Voices, The Pixies, and Cleaners from Venus, it was time to pick up his Silvertone. Combining his love for making beats and rock n roll, Kuli began to create something new. This was the beginning of Guitar. Guitar is Kuli’s escape from the classic band-structured songwriting barriers. Using beats and loops, Kuli began to write songs the way he heard them- pushing boundaries and embracing the jangly, discordant 2-note shapes of bands like The Stray Trolleys and The Brotherhood of Lizards- eventually resulting in several singles and an EP. But Kuli’s northstar for Guitar was the continued exploration of all shapes and forms of pop, rock, and punk. So, he continued to write and record, resulting in the creation of Guitar’s first LP, Casting Spells on Turtlehead. Released by Philly label Julia’s War, Casting Spells on Turtlehead melds modern fried shoegaze and punk unified by Kuli’s odd harmonies and off-kilter guitar playing. While this record was well-received, ultimately, Kuli has more to say with his forthcoming LP, We’re Headed to The Lake. Kuli returned to the studio with his drummer Nikhil Wadhwa, his cousin, his wife, and co-producer Morgan Snook in pursuit of a new destination.With We’re Headed to The Lake, Kuli abandons modern shoegaze conventions and creates something much more akin to 90’s alternative groups like Teenage Fanclub and Guided By Voices. The song “The Game Has Changed” sounds like a mushroom-fueled reimagining of a Weezer song with its deeply memorable hooks warped by oblong riffs and atonal harmonies. Songs like “Every Day Without Fail” are positively triumphant, urging listeners to bob their heads endlessly as the locked-in guitarmonies sail over the upbeat rhythms, only to dissolve into a twisted, hulking hardcore breakdown. “Chance To Win” features Kuli’s wife and feels like a love-induced fever dream with its elegant, orchestral arrangements. The rest of the album follows suit with densely arranged, compelling, and surprising tracks. We’re Headed to The Lake is a sprawling and invigorating leap for Kuli. The record is generally more lyrically and melodically positive, giving the Guitar audience something hopeful; a uniquely beautiful response to an often dark world. The record feels like a place that Kuli was headed all along, and now, he has finally arrived. He has finally arrived at the lake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julia's War","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50851220390176,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/JWR090_1.jpg?v=1761669140"},{"product_id":"joyer-on-the-other-end-of-the-line-cd","title":"Joyer • On The Other End Of The Line... | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Joyer, the east coast indie rock duo of brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan, distance has been a strange throughline as of late—distance from home, distance from each other, distance from a stable routine.

Shoegaze renegades who’ve rebuilt the stereotypically lightweight genre in their own bloodyknuckled American image. Outlaw poets spilling existential dread on mile-wide canvasses of fuzz and reverb. Beginning as a Philly-born bedroom solo project in 2010, Nothing’s music has always captured the full scale of the human condition, both the blaring anger and the whispering sadness. a short history of decay, Nothing’s fifth solo album and first for Run For Cover Records, widens that aperture even further, providing the most hi-def rendering of Nothing to date. The band have never sounded this colossal, never felt this intimate, never been this honest.With the strongest arsenal in Nothing’s ever-shifting lineup locked in -- guitarist Doyle Martin (Cloakroom), bassist Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), drummer Zachary Jones (MSC, Manslaughter 777), and third guitarist Cam Smith (Ladder To God, also of Cloakroom) -- singer-songwriter Domenic “Nicky” Palermo knew he had the manpower to make the band’s most ambitious record yet. Co-written and produced with Whirr guitarist Nicholas Bassett, and with additional production and mixing work from Sonny Diperri (DIIV, Julie), a short history of decay, is the most evolved musical statement in Nothing’s catalog. Songs like “Cannibal World” and “Toothless Coal” are cataclysmic lashings of mechanized industrial-gaze that sound like My Bloody Valentine -- except more extreme.On the other end of the spectrum, the ornately morose “Purple Strings” boasts a beautiful string arrangement that includes harpist -- and two-time Nothing contributor -- Mary Lattimore. That baroque delicacy permeates other a short history of decay, highlights, particularly “The Rain Don’t Care,” a lilting ballad that channels the worn-down elegance of Mojave 3, and also “Nerve Scales,” a pattering bop that resembles Radiohead in its marriage of otherworldly atmosphere and mortal precision. Palermo calls the new record “a final chapter.” Not the end of Nothing, but the conclusion of a story that began with Nothing’s 2014 debut, Guilty of Everything -- another album about time, regret, and confronting uncomfortable truths -- and now resolves with a short history of decay,. As much a snapshot of Palermo’s past as it is a leap into Nothing’s future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ice Cream","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51122849087776,"sku":null,"price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/1081\/5264\/files\/RFC295-1500.jpg?v=1768336494"},{"product_id":"poppy-empty-hands-cd","title":"Poppy • Empty Hands | CD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetal and avant-pop artist Poppy returns with 13 bold new tracks on her seventh full-length, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmpty Hands\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
