- Sep 19, 2025Rock records don’t come much better than this.
- Oct 1, 2025Throw in some of Hartzman’s stickiest, most affecting lyricism yet, and you’ve got an album that justifies every ounce of praise that’s been thrown Wednesday’s way.
- Sep 16, 2025Bleeds is another monumental statement from one of the most exciting bands working today, and certainly at the top of the shortlist of best records of the year.
- Sep 17, 2025Full of complicated emotions and sombre nostalgia, it confronts the darkness and the details, the granular and grandeur, the trivialities and the everything. That's just life, and that's just Wednesday: an exercise in horrible, wonderful contradiction.
- Sep 22, 2025Hartzman is at the peak of her songwriting on Bleeds, with instantly quotable lines both profound (“The easy things in life keep getting harder everyday”) and genuinely funny stoner escapades (“We watched a Phish concert and Human Centipede/Two things I now wish I had never seen”).
- Sep 19, 2025Bleeds is an alt-rock urtext for Wednesday, both an entry point and a summation of their gifts: mixing the atonal with the blissful (Wound Up Here (By Holdin On)), bizarro choogle (Phish Pepsi), void-splitting hardcore (Wasp) and Low-esque slowcore (Carolina Murder Suicide).
- Oct 10, 2025The back and forth between quiet and loud numbers softens the focus of this music, and Bleeds doesn't have quite the same cumulative impact as Rat Saw God. That said, Bleeds is a ferocious, sometimes deeply moving collection of songs, confirming the strength of the music and revealing Hartzman's continued growth as a songwriter.
