Wednesday’s ‘Rat Saw God’ Is a Vivid Tapestry of Misery
On Wednesday’s spectacular Rat Saw God, the North Carolina quintet weave a vivid tapestry of misery led by Karly Hartzman’s ekphrastic storytelling.

Every corner bends toward the dark of the night like the edges of a burnt photograph. The air reeks like a sunbaked lawn that’s been pissed on. Topographically it’s a verdant patchwork of farms and towns you’re likely to fly over on your way from one bustling metropolis to another – those cities that pulse so brightly with light and history that they draw us by the millions like moths to a flame. So many of us in America only know of this place from the window of a plane, its residents as diminutive and indistinguishable as ants or rats.
