Wednesday return with new track, "Elderberry Wine"
Wednesday, the North Carolina band led by songwriter Karly Hartzman, have returned with the release of new single, "Elderberry Wine".
“‘Elderberry Wine’ is about the potential for sweet things in life (love, family, success) to become poison if not prepared for and attended to correctly,” Hartzman explains. “Elderberry is known as a healing fruit, and is an ingredient in many tonics and syrups to aid the immune system. One time however, my sister consumed them raw and it immediately induced vomiting. So ‘Elderberry Wine’ is ultimately a love song about creating just the right environment for fulfillment. There's a delicate balance that needs to be created, especially in love, for two lives to intersect without poisoning each other.”
Speaking of the video, director Spencer Kelly says “We shot most of this music video at The Bench, Greensboro's second-oldest bar and easily one of its most vibrant. On any given day, you’ll find people there from all walks of life swapping stories beneath the music blasting overhead. We came in with some specific scripted scenes, but we wanted to capture the bar as authentically as possible—so everyone you see in the video is a regular, including Karly’s dad, George. This video is a bit of a love letter to places like this, where the sense of community runs deep and the beers are always cold.”
Wednesday will make their television debut tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “Elderberry Wine” is the first taste of new music from Wednesday since the release of their breakthrough album, Rat Saw God.
