The Meadowlands

About The Meadowlands

The Meadowlands is the third studio album by American indie rock band the Wrens, released by Absolutely Kosher Records on September 9, 2003, and in the UK two years later on September 19, 2005 by LO-MAX Records and in Germany by BB*Island. Recording of the album originally began in January 1999, but writer's block and a loss of faith in the tracks they were recording meant the band took four years to complete the album, with many songs being rewritten or scrapped as recording proceeded. Named after the New Jersey Meadowlands, the wetlands near the Wrens' home in New Jersey, The Meadowlands was greeted with universal critical acclaim on its release. more »
