Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up by Wednesday is out today! 11 Mar 2022
Wednesday's new covers collection, Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up, is out today on limited edition cassette & digital formats!
Here's what the critics have to say:
"Back in January, Wednesday showed off their country bona fides with a trio of covers for Aquarium Drunkard, songs by Roger Miller and Drive-By Truckers and, best of all, a quivering yet towering take on Gary Stewart’s brilliant “She’s Acting Single (I’m Drinking Doubles).” Those songs all appear on Mowing The Leaves Instead Of Piling ‘Em Up, the band’s new covers LP out today. So do songs originally recorded by Smashing Pumpkins, Vic Chesnutt, Medicine, Chris Bell, Hotline TNT, and Greg Sage. As they did with Edie Brickell’s “Ghost Of A Dog” at the end of Twin Plagues, Wednesday make these tunes their own. If you like noisy melodic guitar music with a bit of twang in it, this stuff is crack." - Stereogum
"Given that the songs range from a pair of country classics, to latter day Americana, to more mainstream alternative rock, the album primarily serves as a further sampler of what Wednesday does right. Namely putting together melodic song structures slathered over with more than a fair share of feedback and an off-handed charm courtesy of Hartzman’s vocals." - Under the Radar
Purchase Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling 'em Up on cassette & digital formats HERE. You can also purchase cassettes in special-priced bundles with other Wednesday cassettes & color vinyl LPs HERE.
Wednesday kick off their US tour tonight with a sold out show at Static Age in Asheville, NC!
