Rat Saw God, the latest from North Carolina's Wednesday has been one that's appealed to me as its approached along the Golden Avenue of Pop in recent weeks.
Wednesday have distanced themselves from the Indie pack for some time. My Bloody Valentine meets Replacements meets Country music. An unlikely collision. But one that works. Miraculously.
Now that it's here, the record doesn't disappoint in any respect. A series of woozy, melodic pipedreams that offer up much more than your average Indie adventuring. There's genuine heartache here.
Rat Saw God, shifts the deck you're standing on from sonic meltdown to emotional tearjerker from track to track apparently at whim and it works remarkably well. It's not quite like any record you'll hear this year and that's altogether a recommendation.
