Factoring in Wendy Eisenberg's solo material and various collaborations, their collected output is all over the map: from skronking rock to intimate folk, from pop structure to experimental abstraction. On their acclaimed self-titled album this year, Eisenberg leaned into their singer-songwriter side. But there's more than one way to approach those songs.

Today Eisenberg has surprise-released Wweennddyy Eeiisseennbbeerrgg , a new companion album comprising extended versions of two Wendy Eisenberg tracks. Recording with bassist Trevor Dunn, violinist Mari Rubio (more eaze), and drummer Ryan Sawyer, Eisenberg created a stunning 37-minute version of lead single "Meaning Business" and a nine-minute edition of closer "The Walls." Naturally, they're now titled "Mmeeaanniinngg Bbuussiinneess" and "Tthhee Wwaallllss." The resulting 46-minute collection is longer than the original LP, and it serves as a reminder of how adventurous and versatile this artist can be.

A statement from Eisenberg:

I want to write songs…
