**JUNE 10, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) – “**Making this album was a very difficult, sleepless
journey that took a lot out of me, but each day and night throughout that process,
I could see the light at the end of the tunnel,” says The Wreck’s vocalist/producer**
Nick Anderson **about their sophomore album – [**_Sonder_**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=b16c35acec&e=615f2b8493)–
out today (**June 10, 2022 **_via _**_Big_ **_**Noise**_** Music Group**). “I wrote
this album because I had to,” he declares. “I was slowly and poorly processing a
breakup, and for a while there, the breakup was winning.” At some point, though,
he says the tables turned and the breakup became everything he needed for the last
two years to write music that he was proud of and was true to him as a writer and
to the progress of the band.

The first song Anderson started working on for _Sonder_ was the bold and emotional
pop-punk title track, and it initially began as a “club track,” but he says he “
decided to switch it up and make a pop-punk song instead” (the beginning of the 
finished song features a “blown out 808” from that first version). “There is usually
one song per record where the lyrics are improvised and that was the case with ‘
Sonder,’ I improvised the verses. I knew I wanted to name the song ‘Sonder’ before
it even had a chorus. Knowing that is what motivated me to finish the song. I wanted
to put it on the record so bad, for the namesake of it.” The “[**Sonder**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=6c13c7a257&e=615f2b8493)”
music video, **out today**, was directed by [**Natalie Hewitt**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=1509d0114d&e=615f2b8493)
and it’s a colorful lo-fi studio performance that showcases how truly energetic,
and joyous, the band is when they’re playing live.

As for the making of the rest of the album Anderson says it was a “lonely, emotional,
angry, sleepy, and loud process. 5:00 AM would roll around and I’d be sitting in
my studio next to my snoring puppy trying to perfect the same guitar take that I
began attempting two hours before then,” he remembers. “But I knew I was onto something
with this new music, and every fiber of my being wanted to see it through. I haven’t
felt this excited or optimistic about releasing a body of work in my entire career.”
While also benefiting from what he’s learned over the years regarding production,
he says that _Sonder_ feels a lot like a “return to the writing process” that he
had when the band first started. There’s something for everyone on _Sonder_ and 
I hope the right songs find the right people when it comes out.”

On _Sonder_, there’s not only their distinctive witty, frantic genre-bending tracks(“**
Sonder**,” “**Don’t Be Scared**,” “**Unholy**,” “**Ugly Side**,” and “[**Lone Survivor**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=04f8586524&e=615f2b8493)”),
but also their take on mesmerizing alt-rock love/loss ballads (“**Where Are You 
Now?**,” “**Dystopia**,” “**Unrequited**,” “**No Place I’d Rather Be**,” “**Normal**,”“

featuring **girlhouse **).   

Yesterday, The Wrecks kicked off their headlining **_Better Than Ever_** tour featuring
support from **girlhouse** and **Mothé** in **Fresno** and the tour continues tonight(**

_Sonder_ follows the release of the band’s 2016 debut EP **We Are The Wrecks** (
their first single “**Favorite Liar**” currently has **36 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 begun 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_).

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.
