Since its formation in 2017, the North Carolina band Wednesday, headed by Karly Hartzman, skillfully blends the intense, dreamy textures of shoegaze with the sorrowful twang of country (let’s call it “rootgaze” for simplicity). This unique blend serves as a powerful platform for intricate, vivid storytelling, rich in literary detail. One standout track from their sixth full-length album, set to release in September, is their most finely crafted tune yet, featuring MJ Lenderman on guitar, who has also gained recognition with his cover of This Is Lorelei’s “Dancing in the Club”, one of the year’s top releases thus far. The song’s title metaphor refers to a healing herb that can turn harmful with an incorrect dosage, much like love, which needs careful balance to achieve harmony.

Many people found the rapid conclusion of Game of Thrones season 8 to be unsatisfying, not just because of the manner of their defeat (which was disputed by some), but primarily due to the abruptness following years of intricate story development. It would have been preferable to have more time, additional conflicts, and a greater number of answers, but regrettably, we don’t inhabit an ideal scenario where such things can occur.

Hughes effectively encapsulated the spirit of teenagers in the 1980s, weaving intricate tales that celebrated youth while subtly imparting wisdom about maturity. John Hughes’ films were marked by contemporary music and styles, significantly contributing to the enduring iconic representation of 1980s popular culture. While Hughes didn’t direct many of his most renowned works, his storytelling talent was evident even when he wasn’t in the director’s chair, and he occasionally revisited successful ideas for new narratives.
