The Wedding Present – “You’re Dead” [Free Download]
Recorded throughout 2011 in France, California and even Brighton, The Wedding Present’s eighth and latest studio album, Valentina, was mixed by Andrew Scheps (Metallica, Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash) and comes four years after their 2008 release, El Rey. This new offering is packed with ten original tracks and is slated for a March 20 release through the band’s own label, Scopitones. The lengthy time between albums can be attributed to both the group’s knack for extended touring cycles as well as front man David Gedge’s commitment to other side projects.
