The North Carolina band on Wednesday shared the latest single from their upcoming album, rat saw god. “Bath County” arrives with a music video directed by Wednesday’s lead singer, Karly Hartzman. Check it out below.
“This is a song that I wrote on a porch in Bath County, Virginia, when me and [lead guitarist] jake [Lenderman] they were visiting Jake’s mother’s hometown,” Hartzman said in a press release about the single. “It includes some footage I saw on that trip, as well as a description of a guy we saw overdosing in a parking lot early one morning on our way to Dollywood.”
Commenting on the image, Hartzman added: “The video I made myself is an homage to PJ Harvey’s video for ‘Man-Size.’ I had never seen someone emit as much confidence as she did in that video. She wanted to pretend for a minute that she possessed that attitude, but it was harder than it seems! Endless respect for Peej.”
