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