In anticipation of the release of their long overdue, third album this year, I wanted to pay tribute to an extremely underrated and supremely talented band. The Wrens are a pretty tough band to pigeon hole as they hover somewhere in between art rock and emo but are certainly easy to root for. Chances are that if you were searching for this list, you know about the bands tragic hero status. However, these unlucky perfectionists are now coming up on nearly a decade since the release of one of the best albums of all time, The Meadowlands, which is a long time even by The Wrens' standards. Here's to hoping this really is the year!
