The King!



Mixed and recorded in Chicago by Steve Albini here lands the new album from the Wedding Present. I've always had a soft spot for David Gedge and his band since I discovered them as a teenager circa 1985 with their first single 'Go Out and Get 'Em, Boy!'. So many memories. And as I am not nostalgic I will not take this opportunity to cry over the good old times of 'Pourquoi Es-tu Devenue Si Raisonable' but I will embrace this new record with wide open arms. It is indeed my record of the week even though this new album entitled 'El Rey' won't be released by Manifesto Records in the USA and Canada before the 19th of May 2008 and in the rest of the world by Vibrant Records on 26 May. But well, at this time and age it has never been easier to preview new records weeks ahead of their official release date.
