Career

Hartzman was inspired to start playing guitar after watching Mitski's NPR Tiny Desk concert. Hartzman attended college in Asheville, where she met Daniel Gorham. The two recorded an album together under the moniker Wednesday titled yep definitely.[2] After releasing this record, Hartzman formed another band called Diva Sweetly, alongside members of the band Pictures of Vernon.[2] Hartzman was interested in making shoegaze music, which was not the music Diva Sweetly was making. Thus, Hartzman gathered new members to join the Wednesday band and released the second album with the group, titled I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone in 2020.[3][2] The group released their third record, Twin Plagues, on August 13, 2021.[4][5]
