From songs about relationships to lyrics with arresting, scene-setting details, Wednesday_Band_'s latest album, 'Rat Saw God,' is the group's biggest level up yet
, last year under his alias, MJ Lenderman. He embarked on tour alongside his Wednesday bandmate, lap steelist Xandy Chelmis, playing solo dates and opening for the folk-country super-duo Plains.like Wednesday is embracing the ardor surrounding them., their latest endeavor, is their most substantial “level up” yet, as drummer Alan Miller puts it.
“Also, there's a sort of purpose, or intention, within the songs,” Chelmis adds. “The parts are incredibly structured. And when we're not playing this music, we're playing music that tends to be a lot less structured, or jammy, which is also really fun. But with this, you're sort of working within a rigid framework, and expanding within that is actually super fun for me.”
The fandom overlap between Wednesday and, say, longtime shoegaze icons Slowdive, doesn’t feel that far-fetched. But Hartzman is hopeful that, through her group’s music, she’s also introducing country to the uninitiated. “I feel like a lot of our audience appreciates country music but doesn't listen to it often,” Hartzman speculates. “It's like we’re opening that door for a lot of younger people to country music and how good it can be.”Richard Buckner, Tom T.

Bold and Blunt: He Is Risen! An Easter Story of FaithChristians around the world are celebrating one of the holiest, if not the holiest, times of year for believers -- Easter -- which recognizes the sacrifices of Jesus Christ on the cross, when he died for all of humanity's sins and then was resurrected three days later. But even for steadfast believers there are certain stories in the Bible the prove a challenge to faith. One of them is the Genesis account of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. At the last second, God stayed his command and prevented Abraham from inflicting the fatal stab. But Christians nonetheless wonder: Why did God order Abraham to sacrifice his son, anyway? Isn't that evidence of God's cruelty? And for the non-believer, this biblical story has historically proven a sticking point. Now comes a new movie about just this story to show a) God is not cruel and b) God loves his creations and would never harm them. David Helling discusses 'His Only Son,' a movie in nearly 2,000 theaters in America about the famous Genesis story.
