The Wonder Years

Burst & Decay (Volume II)

Banquet exclusive LP on 'magenta' coloured vinyl. /300.

The new re-imaged 12" release from one of our favourite bands The Wonder Years, we were big fans of their last Burst & Decay release, taking older tracks and re-working them into stripped back tracks to showcase their emotive songwriting, often backed with orchestrations as well.

Speaking about the 'Burst & Decay' EP, frontman Dan Campbell explains, “On the first 'Burst & Decay' EP, we went in with a rough idea of re-envisioning a few old songs and walked out of the studio in love with the process. We were able to breathe new life into songs that had become neglected over the years and give new dimensions to ones that we'd played endlessly...This time, we went in knowing exactly what we wanted to do – build new versions of old songs that subvert expectations but remain familiar. We stretched our limits, we got to work with the insanely talented Little Kruta String Quartet, we had a legitimately good time in the studio and we made something we're very excited to share with you.”
