The song &#8220;Reality TV Argument Bleeds,&#8221; explodes with a bright shoegazey lead guitar and singer\/guitarist Karly Hartzman\u00a0sings with a reserved twang. For almost 10 years, this North Carolina group has created their unique concoction of alt-country and shoegaze, gaining a bit more notoriety around the release of their album <em>Rat Saw God<\/em> in 2023 for having MJ Lenderman as their lead guitarist. Now, they have essentially exploded thanks to Hartzman&#8217;s raw verse and a breath of noisy instrumentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Their last album may have turned a few would-be listeners off, with the secondary opener &#8220;Bull Believer&#8221; diving into a more 8-minute experimental noise rock realm, but this new one <em>Bleeds<\/em> does not waste time. Right after &#8220;Reality TV Argument Bleeds,&#8221; we get &#8220;Townies,&#8221; a cautionary tale about the darkness of small-town life. It starts as a slower acoustic ballad and then again explodes in a shoegaze-y sing-songy chorus. Hartzman&#8217;s falsettos and vocal acrobatics here are gorgeous. &#8220;Wound Up Here (By Holdin On)&#8221; might be Wednesday at their best; a droney and sombre guitar rock as Hartzman sings in a longing vibrato, before again, exploding into shoegaze-y, bendy goodness, this time with a neo-gothic edge. This vibe is also on a later track, &#8220;Candy Breath.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There a references to relationship strain, maybe referring to Hartzman and Lenderman&#8217;s past romance, and a bit of violence (one song being the minimalist &#8220;Carolina Murder Suicide&#8221;) all over <em>Bleeds, <\/em>giving<em> <\/em>the feeling like a dark and satiric Coen brothers movie. And the dark American slide guitar on songs like &#8220;Elderberry Wine&#8221; is just too good. I&#8217;m here for the old Americana Carolina stories on <em>Bleeds<\/em>, that I will never truly understand, but that mix and wash of shoegaze and country keeps me coming back for more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Bleeds\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/29HKbQ2pgXgElTnH66mFXK?si=p1DY0vcaQTmE1jANjS3NwQ&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first few moments of Wednesday&#8217;s new album, Bleeds, sound like utter hell; a droney wedding of discordant guitars, thundering bass, and death march drumming.
