Wednesday and MJ Lenderman have announced a reissue of their 2021 collaborative EP Guttering via Julia’s War Recordings. The six-track project be available on vinyl for the first time on June 20. Its cover of Greg Sage’s ‘Sacrifice (For Love)’ was later included on Wednesday’s 2022 covers LP Mowing the Leaves Instead of Piling ’Em Up.
“Life is filled with a lot of events that don’t seem as initially important as they turn out to be,” Julia’s War label head Douglas Dulagrian said in a press release. “Sometimes, I’ll look back at a chance encounter or passing interaction years later and realize, ‘Wow, that event was the catalyst for all this change.’ Every journey begins with one step, sure, but I don’t think we ever really realize how much of a journey that little step will cause. It’s funny to think how much Guttering changed my life. It’s a blessing that, for the past ten years, all my favorite bands have just been my friends, and even more of a blessing that, in the past four or five, they’re willing to work with me. I’m proud that this record was the first Julia’s War release four or five years ago. Crazy to think about that. And these days, all these years later, records like Guttering and many more have allowed the thing to grow into what it is today: a label of all my favorite bands, and it’s still just all my f*cking friends. Each release is this little chapter in the book of it all. And that little guy on the cover is the first page.”
