Rat Saw God cover

Rat Saw God

Released

Wednesday’s striking blend of moody alt rock vibes, shoegaze volume and more traditionally minded acoustic moves continued beautifully on 2023’s Rat Saw God, where starting with a song title like “Hot Rotten Grass Smell” immediately conjures a mood. Kathy Hartzman’s singing retains its combination of observational reflection and engaged passion matched by the lyrics, while the album’s collective musical vibe feels like stumbling into a really good live show, from the dynamic shifts of “Bull Believer” to the easier going flow of “Quarry” and “Formula One.”
