Music Feeds\u2019\u00a0Love Letter To A Record<\/a>\u00a0series asks artists to reflect on their relationship with the music they love and share stories about how it has influenced their lives. Here,\u00a0Sydney alt-rock phantom wendsday (or just W, if you\u2019re cool) shares their love for Chappell Roan’s hit 2023 debut studio album, ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’. It comes as wednesday returns swinging with their second-ever release, ‘I\u2019m Fine Thanks’ – a snarling, hyper-caffeinated takedown of Australia\u2019s class system that lands like a molotov cocktail wrapped in bubblegum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out now via We Don\u2019t Exist Records, the track channels the scrappy heart-on-sleeve energy of Sly Withers, Jeff Rosenstock and Weezer, but with a distinctly fried, doomscrolly Sydney twist. Produced by Clint Topic at Newcastle\u2019s Sawtooth Studios, ‘I\u2019m Fine Thanks’ thrashes with grit, charm and that barely-holding-it-together mania that feels uniquely modern – or, as W puts it, \u201ca scream into the ear of every YouTube business guru and Martin Place broker\u201d still peddling the fantasy that capitalism is a fair game. The song pulls no punches as it spirals through stoicism, vape-fuelled existentialism and the sluggish death of the Australian dream.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
