"The Meadowlands", the third studio album by The Wrens, was released by Absolutely Kosher Records on September 9 2003. Due to troubles with The Wrens' label Grass Records (now Wind-up Records), The Wrens were put on a very long hiatus. Finally, "The Meadowlands" was released seven years after "Secaucus". It was subsequently released in Europe by LO-MAX Records.
