Wednesday - "Pick Up That Knife"
Photo by Martina Gonzalez Bertello
Wednesday have always skirted the line between alt-country and indie rock, and the North Carolina band blurs that line even more on their latest single. "Pick Up That Knife" starts off with twang in both Karly Hatzman's vocals and guitar. It's a little DIY sounding with a generous fuzz layered on, but it's still a country song. And then the noise erupts for a bit until the song morphs back into country, going back and forth a bit, without truly having a pattern. It's more quiet/loud/less loud/more quiet than the typical moud/quiet/loud. No one does the alt-country goes indie rock thing quite like Wednesday does, and "Pick Up That Knife" pushes the boundaries even more.
Karly Hartzman says of her band's upcoming album:
“Bleeds is the spiritual successor to Rat Saw God, and I think the quintessential ‘Wednesday Creek Rock’ album."
