Wednesday have made no secret of the romantic relationship at the front of their band — the power couple of lead singer/rhythm guitarist Karly Hartzman and lead guitarist Jake Lenderman (aka MJ Lenderman).
On at least two tracks on the group’s new album, Rat Saw God, due out this Friday (April 7) via Dead Ocenas, Hartzman sets their relationship dynamics to song.
Most notably, “Chosen to Deserve,” a January single that arrived alongside the record’s announcement, deals with the terrifying but liberating task of telling a serious partner all the less savory things about oneself that are generally withheld at the start of a relationship. “We always started by tellin’ all our best stories first / So now that it’s been awhile, I’ll get around / To tellin’ you all my worst / Just so you know what you signed up for / What you’re dealin’ with / Just so you know what you’ve been chosen to deserve,” Hartzman sings in the track’s first verse, before launching into tales of underage over-drinking, cul-de-sac sex, and a friend’s hospitalization over-the-counter drug abuse.
