“Made up of a handful of love and loss scores, this LP crosses genres in an inaugural
way for The Wrecks’ catalogue. From their previously cemented alt-rock sound on 
tracks like ‘Dystopia’ and ‘Don’t Be Scared’ to a pop-punk twist on the title track,‘
Sonder’ and ‘I Love This Part,’ Sonder is a perfect display of a band honing in 
on their matured sound.”_ – _**Setlist.fm**

“The Wrecks’ mix of ‘don’t quit’ and ‘who cares’ mentality seems to be setting them
on the right track.”  – **Billboard**

“While embracing the spirit of creative experimentation, the band’s growth is evident
in this long-awaited, genre-bending eleven-track record.” –** Ones To Watch**

“This is alt-rock on fire. Burn, babies, burn.” – **idobi**

**NOVEMBER 4, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) — **Today, alt-pop band **The Wrecks** share
the [Deluxe Edition](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=68b4d452c8&e=615f2b8493)
of their critically-hailed June 2022 sophomore album _**Sonder**_** **in tandem 
with releasing a video for “[**Normal (Acoustic)**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=f1a746f76a&e=615f2b8493).”
_Sonder _(_Deluxe_) collects not only their distinctive witty, frantic genre-bending
tracks that made the original album land on Spotify’s _Top 10 U.S. Album Charts_
release week (“**Sonder**,” “[**I Love This Part**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=c8d5926307&e=615f2b8493),”“

featuring **girlhouse**), but also adds two acoustic versions including “Normal (
Acoustic)”, two remixes done by **Molly Otto** and new originals entitled “**Wish
I Never Met You**” and “**Soapbox**.”

With the lyrics such as “_I’m getting used to your silence_, _you can’t hurt me 
like I can_” the original version of “Normal” is undoubtedly forlorn, but the newly
released acoustic version – with vocalist/producer **Nick Anderson**’s lingering
vocals – renews the anguish. Directed by **Matthew Heywood **(who’s been on tour
with the band), the video for the grief-stricken “Normal (Acoustic)” was filmed 
this week in Carrboro, NC at Cat’s Cradle. “It was such a fun venue and city to 
play,” Anderson adds.

_Sonder (Deluxe)_ arrives right as the band are in the midst of their **_Back And
Better Than Ever Tour_** which kicked off with a performance at Sonoma Harvest Festival
in **Sonoma, CA** on **October 9** and features support from **CARR** and **Arlie.**
The tour has already made its way through cities such as **Las Vegas, Boulder, Madison,
Detroit,** and **Athens** with shows coming up in **Tampa,** **Houston, Fort Worth,****
Tucson**, and more before concluding on **November 19** at Majestic Theater in **
Ventura, CA**. Tickets and VIP can be found at [WeAreTheWrecks.com](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=02f9cfb814&e=615f2b8493)

“Feels good to finally have the _Deluxe_ out,” Anderson exclaims. “I went from the
first part of this tour in the Summer straight into finishing this and then right
into the Fall tour (where I finished a lot of the record during the first few days).”

Leading up to their tour kick off, the band released the blustering alt pop single“
[**Things You Make Me Do**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=8c3b27bcd2&e=615f2b8493)”
which Anderson says is about being in an** **inescapable one-way relationship.

The Wrecks began as vocalist/producer **Nick Anderson**’s sole endeavor and has 
since been rounded out by **Aaron Kelley **(_bass_), **Nick “Schmizz” Schmidt **(
_guitar_) and **Billy Nally **(_drums_). _Sonder_ follows the release of the band’s
2016 debut EP **_We Are The Wrecks _**(their first single “**Favorite Liar**” currently
has **42 million+ **streams on Spotify), their 2018 **_Panic Vertigo_** EP, their
2020 **Static **_EP_ as well as their 2020 debut LP **_Infinitely Ordinary_**_ (_**
58 million+ **streams on Spotify).

The Wrecks continue to rack up the massive fan base that has already given their
top five singles on Spotify over 80 million listens. Poised for a wide-open road
ahead of them, Nick Anderson and The Wrecks continue to charge into the limelight.
Not too shabby for a kid from Wellsville, just two hours south of nowhere.
