#23From2023 - #Wednesday – Rat Saw God (Dead Oceans). This Asheville, North Carolina outfit creates an off-kilter hybrid of rootsy Americana, urban noise and shoegaze sounds. Karly Hartzman brings her Lucinda Williams-style drawl to more conventional numbers like “Chosen to Believe,” after screaming bloody valentines on longer excursions like “Bull Believer.” Guitarist MJ Lenderman released his own “live and loose” set a few months after Rat Saw God took off.
