The Wrecks have released their dynamic new single, “I Love This Part“. The track is accompanied by a music video directed by Dan Henry who also directed COIN’s “Chapstick” video – watch it now below.
Vocalist Nick Anderson says the inspiration for “I Love This Part” happened when within days of returning home from tour with three less roommates and one less girlfriend than when he left. He had two choices: “lay in bed miserable or make this song. ’I Love This Part’ was liberating for me emotionally and musically,” he says. “The chip on my shoulder was my petty co-pilot and I was able to access some repressed angst that I surely thought I abandoned in high school. I rediscovered old parts of myself, melodies and energies that I didn’t think were still at my disposal, while also pushing new boundaries sonically for our band.”
“There was a fire in me while making this record that I hadn’t felt in years,” explains Anderson. “I remember the night I wrote the majority of the song and recorded the vocals; I cried, I laughed, I yelled. I let all of my intrusive thoughts in. I let myself be angry, be sad, be spiteful, be free.” Like the earliest Wrecks songs, he says this song means a lot to him because it kept his “head above water and helped [him] cope during a very difficult time. Not only that, but it inspired and set the tone for the rest of the upcoming album.”
