The Wedding Present have shared a new song, Birdsnest.
The track is cut from their new album, ‘Going, Going…’, which is due out on September 2 through Scopitones. Discussing the cut with Clash, who premiered it, David Gedge said:
"We had a really great time recording Birdsnest at La Fabrique studios in France. It’s kind of typical of the whole album, in a way, in that it’s a song that’s full of weird ideas that often spin off on odd tangents. The main body is quite rocky, with a massive bass sound, but it kind of strangely changes key into a poppy chorus! And then the outro section harks back to the ‘jangly' Wedding Present sound of the 80s before the final bit, which is much more subdued and gives me the chance to get my old guitar slide out! There’s enough ideas on it for a whole E.P.! I think the recording has quite a ‘positive' sound, to match the optimism of the lyrics."
The Wedding Present will hit the road for a two part UK tour this autumn, playing shows during September, November and December. Tickets are on sale now.
