The Wedding Present - Maxi - VINYL LP

About this product
Maxi is the 2026 EP by the Wedding Present, six new songs about driving that goes from britpop to post rock and back. 27 minutes of shambling bliss. In 1996, The Wedding Present released Mini - an EP featuring six tracks that all had connections to motoring. Almost thirty years on, David Gedge has revisited the concept with Maxi, a brand-new, six-track EP which is again loosely based around the theme of driving. Although Maxi follows the same concept as Mini, the 2025 model of The Wedding Present's vehicle is discernibly grander, with Gedge hinting that guitarist Rachael Wood - who was new to the band at the time of writing - might be one of the reasons why. 'Scream, If You Want To Go Faster' - the opening track - mesmerises with a slow-building, post-rock feel before it revs up to set the EP's tone and flows into the infectious riff of 'Grand Prix' - itself driven forward by the complexities of Wood's playing. Album Tracks 1. Scream, If You Want to Go Faster 2. Grand Prix 3. Hot Wheels 4. Two for the Road 5. Interceptor 6. Silver Shadow

Jon Stewart [of Platinum-album-selling Sleeper fame] reprises his new role as Wedding Present guitarist but is joined here by some Wedding Present members of old. Peter Solowka, from the band's first line-up appears on 'Nobody's Twisting Your Arm' playing his second instrument, the accordion, while Hit Parade guitarist Paul Dorrington contributes to a re-working of the Top 30 single 'Blue Eyes'. Long-time Wedding Present and Cinerama bass player Terry de Castro returns to infuse the album with her own unique style, while current Wedding Present bass player Melanie Howard takes over the lead vocal duties on a beautiful version of 'At The Edge Of The Sea'. Last, but certainly not least, Amelia Fletcher - backing vocalist on George Best and Bizarro - also returns to the party!As on the first volume, each musician recorded and filmed their parts at home and, as before, it is fascinating to see how stripped-back arrangements bring out different aspects of these brilliant songs.
