Wendy Wang is a musical surgeon. Focused and steady, she will carve out your heart and hand it to you and you will thank her. This is why she is called "The Sweet Hurt." Over the past few years Miss Wendy Wang has become an essential ingredient of the LA music scene. She can be found several nights out of the week playing with the likes of Obi Best, The Bird & The Bee and I Make This Sound. She can be found several days of the week working as an engineer at Red Rockets Glare Studio, where she has worked with The Weather Underground, The Henry Clay People, Ferraby Lionheart, among many others. However, The Sweet Hurt remains her passion and all it takes is a listen to her latest EP, "In the Shade of Dreams" to realize that Wendy's passion is ready to become our passion. These are the songs that Wendy writes, produces, engineers, and performs. She is the sweetest version of Todd Rundgren that you are every likely to meet and she has better hair. The EP kicks off with a question: "Where would you go if you could go anywhere?" set to a lush musical backdrop that would be right at home on Pet Sounds. The EP ends with a lullaby that answers her first question: "In the shade of dreams." Clocking in just shy of 15 minutes, Wendy takes us on a sometimes whimsical, sometimes heartbreaking, always enjoyable journey through her head. Her musical influences are varied. There are dense wall-of-sound moments that bring to mind Phil Spector hanging with a gentler version of Jesus and Mary Chain. There are stripped down moments that recall a confessional Nick Drake. There are playful moments of bounce and zest that shine like an early 60s pop ditty. Again, all in a matter of 15 minutes, Wendy, I mean The Sweet Hurt, teaches us a musical history lesson that reminds us of why we love music in the first place. - Joey Siara, The Henry Clay People.
