Wednesday share “TV In The Gas Pump” from new LP
Wednesday have released the final single off their anticipated new LP Rat Saw God, out April 7 via Dead Oceans. "TV In The Gas Pump" takes a straight-ahead indie sound and underscores it with screechy, distorted guitars. Frontwoman Karly Hartzman explains:
This is the first song I’ve written about being on the road, and I really just wanted to collect all that imagery you ingest on tour. A few images that made it in the song include: the never ending gas station stops that blend together and the dystopian gas pump advertisements, a stressful experience in a Panera bread and a story of coming up from taking what you thought was a microdose of shrooms in a Dollar General.
The song comes with an uncanny animated music video directed by Lewis Dahm, who says, “This video is a result of Karly's sicko vision of the Arresting Beauty of the American South. That vision was digitized by local freak-on-a-leash Lewis Dahm.” Watch it below.
Wednesday have a ton of tour dates coming up, including a stop in Brooklyn with Tenci on June 20 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Before that, they're throwing Mr. Rat's Flea Market, a market and art show they curated celebrating the release of Rat Saw God, on April 8 at TV Eye in Queens. See all dates below.
