  • Summary: Eight years ago, Wedding Present leader David Gedge put that band on hold to pursue--at first--a more cinematic sound with his new outfit, the aptly named Cinerama. With Cinerma's sound more closely approximating the Wedding Present's in recent years, Gedge has revived the WP name (but retained the most recent Cinerama lineup) for this latest release, produced by Steve Fisk.… Expand

    In a (music) world consumed by political statements muddied under fancy riffs, the greatly (re)welcomed Wedding Present strike again, taking the most basic human emotions and writing around them.
