"In the fall of 2003, I obsessed over The Meadowlands to the exclusion of everything else in indie rock. Seriously, how the fuck was I supposed to relate to Interpol? The Wrens sang about actual day jobs and girlfriends and New Jersey, and they made a record with what I thought was a fascinatingly truthful moral— you can be incredibly talented and follow your dreams… and shit still might not work out."
Ian Cohen, writing about The Wren’s song “Everyone Chooses Sides” from the album The Meadowlands.
