Our Take

The Wedding Present's "Sea Monsters" is a cacophony of jangly guitars and wistful lyrics that will have you pining for lost loves and rainy days. Frontman David Gedge's emotive vocals soar over the intricate melodies, creating a sense of melancholy that is both haunting and beautiful.

From the opening track "Dalliance" to the closing notes of "Corduroy," the album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you feeling breathless and exhilarated. The band's signature sound is on full display here, with angular riffs and propulsive rhythms that will have you tapping your foot in time.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Sea Monsters." Tracks like "Blue Eyes" and "Suck" inject a dose of punk energy into the mix, providing a welcome respite from the album's more introspective moments. And the shimmering guitars on "Granadaland" evoke a sense of nostalgic longing that is impossible to resist.

Overall, "Sea Monsters" is a triumph of indie rock songwriting, with its raw emotion and infectious melodies sure to captivate listeners from start to finish. So grab your headphones, find a cosy spot to curl up, and let The Wedding Present take you on a journey through heartbreak and redemption. You won't regret it.

Known for their witty lyrics, infectious melodies, and jangly guitar riffs, the band quickly gained a loyal following of fans who couldn't get enough of their unique blend of indie pop. Over the years, the Wedding Present have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including "Seamonsters," "Watusi," and "Valentina." Their live shows are legendary, with Gedge's deadpan delivery and the band's energetic performances never failing to captivate audiences. With their latest album, "Going, Going..." the Wedding Present have shown that they still have plenty of creative energy left in the tank. The album is a sprawling, ambitious work that sees the band exploring new sonic territory while staying true to their signature sound. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, the Wedding Present are a band that is sure to leave a lasting impression. So sit back, grab a pint, and let the music wash over you.
