Wednesday release new single "Elderberry Wine"

North Carolina alt-country rockers Wednesday have released a new single, "Elderberry Wine", today, marking their first new material since their critically acclaimed 2023 record Rat Saw God. The single is accompanied by a music video directed by Spencer Kelly.

Watch the video below:

Of the single, frontwoman Karly Hartzman says:

“‘Elderberry Wine’ is about the potential for sweet things in life (love, family, success) to become poison if not prepared for and attended to correctly. Elderberry is known as a healing fruit, and is an ingredient in many tonics and syrups to aid the immune system. One time however, my sister consumed them raw and it immediately induced vomiting. So ‘Elderberry Wine’ is ultimately a love song about creating just the right environment for fulfillment. There's a delicate balance that needs to be created, especially in love, for two lives to intersect without poisoning each other.”

Additionally, the group will be making their television debut tonight on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The show airs at 11:35pm ET/10:35pm CT on CBS.
