Description
I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone is Wednesday's second full-length album and first as a full band. The Asheville, NC quintet (guitarist/vocalist Karly Hartzman, lead guitarist Daniel Gorham, pedal steel guitarist Xandy Chelmis, bassist Margo Schultz and drummer Alan Miller) maximizes the dark dissonance of a three guitar attack to highlight the emotionality of Hartzman's bell-clear vocals and wisps of half-recalled memories and literary references that make up her lyrics. I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone's eight songs meld elements of shoegaze, grunge, indie pop and southern American culture into a uniquely personal style of modern rock music that resonates with power and tenderness.
