National Music ReviewsWednesdayBleedsDead OceansStreet: 09.19.2025Wednesday = Hardcore Courtney Barnett + Southern Gothic Dinosaur Jr.Wednesday is out there doing it! The end result, Bleeds, can only be described as a Wednesday album because there’s nothing currently out there quite like it. This could be referencing the ending of her relationship with Lenderman just prior to the sessions for Bleeds. While the tone of most of the album is bleak and dour, Bleeds ends on a funny, out-of-left-field note. Bleeds is the logical successor to Rat Saw God, and makes a strong case that Wednesday is one of the pre-eminent indie rock bands working today.
