#888 - The Meadowlands - The Wrens

The fact we're never going to get the final Wrens album under anything but tragic circumstances is awful. but at least they closed out with one of the best albums of the decade. Every year I get older, it hits harder.

96/100

Jon Perkins is a name I bring up every once in a while. I think he made me one mix CD many years ago, but so many of those bands ended up staying with me. The Wrens were one of those bands. "The Meadowlands" has always been somewhere in the mix since 2003.

Now, Absolutely Kosher (who released "The Meadowlands") is releasing Charles Bissell's first new release since 2003. The band is car colors (Brooklyn, New York) and "Old Death" is a 3 song release.

The Wrens always made me think of sound adjacent bands like Beulah or The New Pornographers. car colors is no different.

I didn't know "song of the summer" meant an actual popular song that comes out over the summer. I thought it just meant a song you listen to a lot over the summer, so much so that it defines your summer. When asked what the song of the summer is I've been saying shit like "Unicorns by Colour of course!" and "Atlas of an Eye by Hammer No More the Fingers :)" until my Dad asked "Do you actually think people are listening to that?"

Anyways my Song of the Fucking Summer right here:

The Wrens // Hopeless

Hopeless that this will turn out better

This isn't want I wanted

I should have listened to them

Go thank yourself for nothing

It's really all you're good for

And every year you wasted

And every half-assed offer
