During the lengthy recording of Written Years’ forthcoming release, Wade Ouellet (frontman and songwriter) experienced a sudden and unexplained speech loss - causing him to refrain from speaking for months. Through the upward climb in getting his voice back, Ouellet began working in near-isolation on a batch of new material.

The Vancouver-based quartet, also composed of Kane Enders, Brian Dyck, and Alex Richardson, enlisted producer Ryan Worsley (Dear Rouge, Said The Whale) to help them achieve this new direction. Their debut single, Lost In You Now, was released fresh into 2018 and a DIY video/pseudo-documentary was filmed over a 4-day shoot. The film centered around an eccentric character named Kevin and his own struggle to find acceptance in doing what he loves. His resistance to the norm and to criticism embodied a lot of the same trials the band experienced in creating their new material.

Written Years are now preparing the release of their sophomore single, Superficial Feeling, due May 11th on all digital outlets. The emotionally-driven anthem was mixed by Jason “JVP” VanPoederooyen (Mother Mother, Ill Scarlett) and showcases the next step for the indie alternative outfit.
