Locked Down And Stripped Back
features home recordings of
Wedding Present
classics, along with two previously unreleased songs: "You're Just A Habit That I'm Trying To Break" and "We Should Be Together". The former is the first fruit of
David Gedge
's songwriting partnership with Wedding Present guitarist
Jon Stewart
(of
Sleeper
fame) whilst the latter was originally written (but never released) by Sleeper themselves. This new Wedding Present version features
Louise Wener
on vocals. With each band member recording and filming their parts at home under lock-down restrictions, the recording process was far from easy, but the end result illustrates splendidly how The Wedding Present have adapted to the impact of COVID-19. David Gedge says: "As the summer of 2020 wore on it became increasingly obvious that At The Edge Of The Sea --my annual festival in Brighton -- was sadly going the way of other live music events. Following its cancellation, I decided to replace it with an 'online' version, presented live from my own living room and featuring home-recorded videos from many of the artists that had appeared at the festival over the years. For The Wedding Present's contribution, we picked twelve tracks to re-work in a 'semi-acoustic' style, and it was fascinating to see how stripped-back arrangements brought out different aspects of the songs.
The Seamonsters
track 'Blonde' was a prime example of this, with a 'just-two-guitars' approach resulting in a naïve and stark-sounding interpretation. In addition to the brilliant contributions from Louise and Jon from Sleeper, my long-time writing associate
Terry de Castro
fired over contributions from Los Angeles and, fresh from finishing her first
Such Small Hands
solo album, Wedding Present bass player
Melanie Howard
took over lead vocals for a version of 'Sports Car'."
