Details: In 2021 Douglas Dulgarian of the band TAGABOW issued the very first cassette release on his brand new label project Julia's War Recordings. It was a collaborative EP by friends Jake and Karly called Guttering, issued under their pseudonyms MJ Lenderman & Wednesday. Upon it's initial release, Stereogum put it perfectly when they said that "Guttering's six self-recorded tracks present some of the best aspects of both artists' work, setting sighing harmonies against dense power chords and occasionally seasoning the mix with some twangy lead guitar." Fast forward to 2025, MJ Lenderman and Wednesday are two of the biggest names in indie rock. Wednesday had a break out 2023 with the release of their excellent Dead Oceans debut 'Rat Saw God', which landed on a numerous year end lists. In 2024 MJ Lenderman released his Anti debut with 'Manning Fireworks', which catapulted him into indie stardom. A string of sold out tour dates and an equally impressive list of year end accolades followed the album's release. With both bands garnering rabid fanbases over the last four years, the release of this early collaborative EP demonstrates just how far the two have come, and showcases the magical spark the two had in those early days before the world was watching.
