The WEDDING PRESENT

LP + CD

Locked Down And Stripped Back

NEON COLOURED VINYL

DELUXE EDITION

BRAND NEW and SEALED !

1st Pressing

Scopitones release Locked Down And Stripped

Back by The Wedding Presen.

The LP 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 Platinum-

album-selling 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 current pandemic. 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’.”
