One other stellar observe from Miami-based The Wax Worms, “Shedding Weekends” pairs haunting neo-psychedelic intrigue with relatable lyrical laments on the every day grind — particularly, how working a dead-end job could cause one to really feel like their time is disappearing. “And now I’m on the clock once more,” the vocals let loose with chilling affect as hazy guitar twangs and mellow keys stir alongside, constructing right into a fervent organ-fronted finale that upticks the ardor with sating attract. It’s one other thorough success from the act, who’ve caught our ears previously with the tracks “Laura” and “Donny Says.”
Songwriter Max Harrison elaborates on the observe:
“I wrote “Shedding Weekends” after I was working full-time at a grocery retailer, and I simply type of began to really feel like I used to be fading away. All of my time was disappearing, and I had so little power to contribute to creating music on the finish of my workweeks. And since my week started at 7AM on Fridays, I ultimately stopped going out, and succumbed to the existential dread. So one evening, I sat down with my strat and wah pedal, cranked out my emotions, and ended up with “Shedding Weekends”.
This tune dropping the identical month as Might Day is fully intentional. This tune is for staff, folks in wage-slavery, and for anyone who can relate to working at a job that doesn’t worth your price. “Shedding Weekends” is an unapologetic anti-work anthem.”
