Philadelphia's The Wonder Years have released "Burst & Decay Vol. III". For the first time, the third installment of their transformative, stripped-back series brings something new along with it: “Junebug,” a heartfelt song written by vocalist Dan Campbell about his younger son. Produced by Steve Evetts (TWY, Lifetime), "Junebug" brims with the kind of warmth and sincerity that has long defined Dan's songwriting.
Elsewhere on "Burst & Decay III", a song Campbell wrote for his older son, "Wyatt's Song (Your Name)" gets the lo-fi treatment––with the actual recording of Wyatt's in-utero heartbeat acting as the metronome. At the album's close, the cinematic intensity of "Doors I Painted Shut" finds its own standout moment thanks to vibrant vocals and guitarist Nick Steinborn's production prowess, proving that The Wonder Years can seamlessly venture into uncharted territory without ever missing a beat.
But "Burst & Decay III" isn't just about reinvention; it's about their community, too. The Wonder Years have enlisted guest vocalists to help reinterpret some of their most iconic tracks.
Knuckle Puck's Joe Taylor lends his heartfelt and dynamic vocals to a fan favorite on "Came Out Swinging"; Zayna Youssef, vocalist of Philly breakouts Sweet Pill, helps amplify the raw vulnerability of "Oldest Daughter"; and Origami Angel's Ryland Heagy delivers a tender and sincere performance on "I Don't Like Who I Was Then."
