Asheville, North Carolina’s Wednesday builds intensity throughout our highlighted track “Turkey Vultures” by gradually upping the tempo. It’s not rocket science. But the best pop music always sounds slap-your-forehead simple. The Appalachian folk manque vocals of fronter Karly Hartzman lifts the chorus into the upper atmosphere, high above any wafting clouds of wildfires. Shades of Big Thief with Arcade Fire-style energetics and grunge fury. It’ll get you out of your seat.
