American pop-rock band The Wrecks have taking the covers off their sophomore album 'Sonder'.
A record that manifested as the group's vocalist-producer Nick Anderson processed a particularly painful breakup, 'Sonder' came together mostly in isolation due to the pandemic."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," Nick says.
"I wrote this album because I had too. I was slowly and poorly processing a breakup, and for a while there the breakup was winning."
Anderson admits the creative process was a "lonely, emotional, angry, sleepy, and loud process – 5am 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.
"But I knew I was onto something with this new music, and every fibre of my being wanted to see it through. . . There's something for everyone on 'Sonder' and I hope the right songs find the right people when it comes out."
