Following, No Closer To Heaven, The Wonder Years released – Sister Cities – their most transformative work to date. Recorded at Sunset Sound with Joe Chiccarelli (Manchester Orchestra, The Shins, Spoon) and Carlos de la Garza (Jimmy Eat World, Paramore).

Sister Cities is an album about distance, connectivity and the way humanity towers above boundaries. What The Wonder Years do so effortlessly on Sister Cities is no small feat; through poetic lyricism, ambient guitar swells, and Jimmy Eat World-levels of crashing momentum. On Sister Cities, they take a massive, unexpected leap forward both sonically and thematically, now speaking confidently to the world at large.

An overpowering sense of earnestness and vulnerability. – Pitchfork

There is a lifetime yelled in every punk song, captured in the desperate and catchy Sister Cities. –NPR Music

From the first notes, its already clear that The Wonder Years are stepping into uncharted territory. –UPROXX
