Wednesday – I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone Online now

Description
I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone is Wednesday s second fulllength album & first as a full band. The Asheville, NC quintet (guitarist vocalist Karly Hartzman, lead guitarist Daniel Gorham, pedal steel guitarist Xandy Chelmis, bassist Margo Schultz & drummer Alan Miller) maximizes the dark dissonance of a three guitar attack to highlight the emotionality of Hartzman s bell-clear vocals & wisps of half-recalled memories & literary references that make up her lyrics. I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone s eight songs meld elements of shoegaze, grunge, indie pop & southern American culture into a uniquely personal style of modern rock music that resonates with power & tenderness. The ever-darkening & deepening of Wednesday s sound on I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone owes a debt of influence to The Swirlies, Arthur Russell, Red House Painters, Tenniscoats, Ana Roxanne, Acetone, & their continued collaboration with MJ Lenderman (who lends backing vocals to the songs Billboard & November ). I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone was recorded at Hartzman s home with engineering assistance from her roommate Colin Miller. The depth & clarity of the recordings balance the distorted volume of Wednesday s live performances with the intimacy of Hartzman s voice. Her words hold the center of the chaos, unobscured by the power of the band. Hartzman describes her lyrics as attempts to access old personal memories & do them justice through prose, with inspiration from the writings of Richard Brautigan, Flannery O Connor, David Berman & Tom Robbins, & movies like Steel Magnolias.
