Wednesday Announce Tour And New Album, “Rat Saw God”

Asheville band Wednesday has announced their next album, Rat Saw God, will be released on April 7th, 2023, via Dead Oceans. Alongside the announcement, the rock outfit has confirmed US tour dates and shared their lead single, “Chosen to Deserve”.

Talking about their new single “Chosen to Deserve”, singer-songwriter and guitarist Karly Hartzman, stated, “a writing exercise I gave myself to try to recreate the iconic song by Drive-By Truckers “Let There Be Rock”, but with my own experiences from growing up and fucking around and getting into stupid shit.”

Discussing the music video, Hartzman said, “The video directed by Spencer Kelly (The A’s, Wye Oak) shows the setting of my upbringing and antics: my parents’ neighborhood in Greensboro, NC and Lake Myers RV Resort.”
