Following the release of their sophomore album, Sonder this summer, The Wrecks have released their new single, “Things You Make Me Do” today. The track is taken from the Deluxe Edition of the album, arriving on October 28th via Big Noise. 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, but also adds bonus content with acoustic and remixed versions of original Sonder songs like “Sonder (Acoustic),” “Normal (Acoustic),” “Lone Survivor (Molly Otto Remix),” “Dystopia (Molly Otto Remix),” as well as a handful of B-Sides. Listen to the new single now below.
“I was processing a breakup slowly and poorly, and for a while there, the breakup was winning,” Vocalist/producer Nick Anderson said of the track. There was a point when making the album, though, he says the tables turned and the breakup became the inspiration for his creativity to return and make this album that he’s really proud of.
Highlighting the band’s elevated and triumphal alt-rock, Sonder saw Anderson experimenting with minor keys and calculated lyrics which “opened up [their] writing process. I’d say our lyrics have always been honest and vulnerable, and not only was I able to depend on that narrative compass once again, but I found it taking me to a whole new place this time creatively,” he explains. “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,” he exclaims. “But I knew I was onto something; I hadn’t felt this excited or optimistic about releasing a body of work in my entire career.”
