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 the questions at the heart of Wednesday’s powerful new album Bleeds, an intoxicating collection of narrative-heavy Southern rock that deepens the band’s signature blend of literary allusion, place-based poetry, and raw sonic intensity. More than just their latest release, Bleeds is the most distilled expression of the North Carolina band’s identity—a patchwork-style triumph of outlaw grit and hair-raising noise. Described by frontwoman Karly Hartzman as the spiritual successor to Rat Saw God and the quintessential ‘Wednesday Creek Rock’ album, Bleeds refines the formula that has made Wednesday one of the most compelling rock bands of their generation.
