The Wedding Present new album "Valentina"

The Wedding Present have a new album "Valentina" out this year, first one since 2008, and it's chock full of the stuff fans have come to expect and love from these guys. Smart songs about dysfunctional relationships, sex, pining, angst, bitter jealousy, dry humour and jaded outlooks on life, in the classic Wedding Present indie Brit-rock style.  Included in this album is what I consider one of their crowning glories of angry songs about fucked up relationships, "You're Dead"



Oh, Dave, you sure know how to pick 'em. You'd think he'd give up on dating already.

  2. Bless you for writing about The Wedding Present!! Haha, seeing this reminded me of a review I read for this album and I just wanted to share a quote from it regarding David Hedge..."lyrically he still seems to be preoccupied with the same thing he’s always been preoccupied with. And that’s sex, or lack of it."
