Wednesday share “Bitter Everyday,” the blistering new single from the North Carolina band’s forthcoming LP, Bleeds, available September 19th via Dead Oceans. The track is accompanied by a video directed by Ben Turok, filmed in Lake Santeelah in Western North Carolina. “Bitter Everyday” follows previous singles “Elderberry Wine,” “Wound Up Here (By Holdin On),” and “Pick Up That Knife.”

“”Bitter Everyday’ is a song formed around my desperate desire to tell the story about how in 2019 this lady came up on our porch at like 3 in the morning when Jake and our friend Andrew were out there drinking and playing guitar,” Hartzman explains. “She asked them if she could sing them a song she had written, she had an incredible voice. They recorded a voice note of it and showed it to me the next morning when I woke up. I knew which lady it was, she was a houseless person who walked around the downtown area a lot. Weeks later, I was walking home from work and I saw a photo of her on a telephone pole. It was an old mug shot of her, and she was done up in juggalo makeup. The description on the paper said she was wanted for murder. The chorus is an homage to Iris DeMent’s song “Easy’s Gettin’ Harder Everyday.””
