MJ Lenderman & Wednesday - Guttering

Originally released in 2021 as the debut cassette on Douglas Dulgarian’s fledgling Julia’s War Recordings label, this raw and radiant collaborative EP captures MJ Lenderman and Wednesday in their earliest form—before the sold-out tours and critical acclaim. Now reissued for the first time on vinyl in a striking Olive Green color variant, it’s a full-circle moment for two of indie rock’s brightest stars.

Praised upon release by outlets like Stereogum for “setting sighing harmonies against dense power chords and occasionally seasoning the mix with some twangy lead guitar,” the EP’s six tracks glow with the unfiltered chemistry and DIY spirit that foreshadowed what was to come.

Fast forward to 2025: Wednesday’s Rat Saw God (Dead Oceans, 2023) became a breakout hit, while MJ Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks (ANTI-, 2024) propelled him into indie stardom. This reissue looks back at the spark that started it all—when these two voices were still finding their shape, and the world hadn’t quite caught on yet.

More than just a reissue, this is a lo-fi time capsule—brimming with slacker twang, fuzzed-out charm, and emotional punch. A must-have for fans new and old.
