WONDER YEARS - Sister Cities (Sealed) (CD)

Nearly three years ago, The Wonder Years dropped No Closer To Heaven. This would be the first album to exist outside of the context of the quintessential coming of age trilogy that spanned The Upsides to The Greatest Generation and showcased a willingness to mold their songwriting into a grittier and more biting body of work while continuing to build outwardly from the sound they’d been perfecting for nearly half of a decade. The result was an album that felt more mature than anything the band had released before — and it looks like this trend is set to continue with their new album Sister Cities.
