Despite The Mix, Vol. 12











fig 1. The Wrens


I got a chance to catch The Wrens on their "extensive" East Coast tour (Philly & Baltimore) on Saturday night with Scottie at Sonar. You would think seven years would be enough time between albums but no firm word yet on the new release. After seeing them perform a less than inspired set last December at The Black Cat in DC, I was reinvigorated by their Baltimore set - high energy, small room, fired up audience. Yes, they played The Meadowlands in its entirety but also played a few new songs that I'm excited to hear on record. When? Who knows? So to hold you over I've linked a few old Wrens tunes with some new stuff I'm listen to this week. Enjoy.
