Wednesday are back. Today (Wednesday), the North Carolina band have released their first new original music since 2023’s phenomenal Rat Saw God. Twangy and delicately beautiful, ‘Elderberry Wine’ comes paired with a music video from director Spencer Kelly. Check it out below.
“‘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,” Karly Hartzman explained in a statement. “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.
Tonight, Wednesday will also be making their television debut on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Guitarist MJ Lenderman recently revealed he will no longer be touring with Wednesday, but he’s still part of the band.
