The Wedding Present - Valentina flac album

Valentina is the eighth studio album by English rock band The Wedding Present. It was released in the UK on 19 March 2012 by their record label, Scopitones. The North America release date was 20 March 2012, Japan 21 March 2012 and Oceania 23 March 2012. Valentina came four years after the band's previous album, El Rey. It was the first album since Saturnalia not to feature Terry de Castro on bass, although she did provide a few backing vocals

The album seemed more of a stagnation by the band rather than a further development of their sound. With that in mind I was a little unsure as to where David Gedge and crew would go, on this the band's eighth studio album. I'm pleased to say, though, that my uncertainty was swept to one side within the first 30 seconds of opening track, 'You're Dead'. The tracks rumbling drums and jangling guitars are the perfect compliment to Gedge's distinct vocals, the one staple of all Weddoes records over the past 27 years. Valentina' is a welcome return to form for The Wedding Present and enough to put the doubters' (myself included) minds to rest. Key song: Deer Caught in the Headlights. Reply Notify me Helpful.

Album · 2012 · 12 Songs. Founded in Leeds in 1985, The Wedding Present in 2012 still plays with a firm commitment to tough-sounding pop music (with only leader David Gedge standing as an original member). The guitars and drums are pure brawn, while Gedge finds indelible melodies to skirt as he rants like an angry patron at the last bar on Earth.

That version of the Wedding Present, though- Gedge, guitarist Peter Solowka, bassist Keith Gregory, and drummer Simon Smith- is a distant memory. Gedge has been the only point of continuity with that lineup for the past 15 years, and meanwhile the rest of the band has turned over multiple times, not to mention the seven-year span during which Gedge's main project was the soundtrack-obsessed group Cinerama. Valentina is essentially Gedge and his current sidemen doing a very solid impression of the Wedding Present as they were circa 1990

The Wedding Present, who formed in Leeds, England, in 1985, is one of British alternative rock’s longest-running bands. They’re also among its most consistently high-quality. Singer/guitarist David Gedge still writes about the intricacies of romantic love with great humor, insight, and style, and the band still backs his lovelorn tales with a ferocious but controlled take on super-dynamic pop arrangements. It’s Layton you hear first on the band’s most recent studio album, Valentina, pumping out the powerful floor tom/snare intro to You’re Dead. Beyond being a vote of confidence in Layton, it’s a neat clue to the drummer’s approach on the rest of the album-like Gedge’s lyrics, the part isn’t self-consciously clever, but it’s not quite standard fare either.
