Rat Saw God, the Asheville quintet’s new and best record, is ekphrastic but autobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. A short story collection, a half-memory, a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments that somehow make sense as a whole.

They pulled guns and cocaine from the dry wall wrapped in newspaper When they busted in they found that her house was a front for a mob thing Somebody called the cops soon Mandy and her boyfriend The sweet talk never lasts and we learn to go on without it The kid from the Jewish family got the preachers kid pregnantīut they sent her off and we never heard too much more about it Georgie set fire to acres of cotton setting off model rockets They have scoliosis from constants slumps in miseryįlat parts on their crew cuts from laying their heads on their knees The Kletz brothers parents fight in the yard in their underwearīobby and Jimmy sit in the baby pool with lice in their hair
