Progress Report: The Wrens

Artist:
NAME : The Wrens
PRGRESS REPORT : Recording the followup to The Meadowlands at bassist Kevin Whelan's home studio in Teaneck, New Jersey.
We usually like to catch bands after they've been in the studio for a while, or when they've just left it. But we are so excited to hear that New Jersey's Wrens were finally back in the studio that we wanted to catch up with them early into their recording process. And it's very early: as the band says on their newly redesigned site , their session at Abbey Road studios was the first time they'd recorded in the same room in a decade. Now a week into recording at Kevin Whelan's home studio, the band is still figuring out how to use Tracktion, dealing with dead computers, and balancing recording with their jobs and families.
Still, ten years, what the hell, right? Charles Bissell and Kevin Whelan answered that question, and variations of "So, seriously, when's the new album coming?" with such good humor that we thought we'd present this Progress Report in Q&A format. Here the Wrens discuss Paul McCartney, the direction of their next album, and how they're really Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. And they're really sorry.
