Episode: Hometown Heartbreak: How Wednesday and Ruston Kelly Bring Americana to Indie Rock
Description: "Americana" and "indie rock" as music descriptors are as widespread as they are near-meaningless in the proliferation of genre-bending artists in the 2020s, but Wednesday with their stellar breakthrough RAT SAW GOD, and Ruston Kelly with his melancholic and pristine THE WEAKNESS, fuse the two together in very distinct but effective ways, resulting in a highlight of the year for Ryley and Jake. Join them as they go deep into these masterful and personal records, loaded with tales of unreconciled heartbreak, traumatic histories, and deep emotional ties, and let us know what you think in the comments on YouTube!
