Porté par la voix insistante de David Gedge et ses paroles sincèrement éprises d’amour, The Wedding Present est l’un des groupes fondateurs et moteurs de l’indie rock au Royaume-Uni. Bien que la formation ait évolué autour de Gedge, son attachement aux guitares au jeu rapide, aux tempos vifs et aux mélodies accrocheuses est resté intact depuis leur premier single en 1985. Le groupe débute avec une énergie brute et maladroite sur ces premiers singles et l’album George Best (1987), avant que leur son ne gagne en richesse et en puissance avec le chef-d’œuvre bruyant Seamonsters (1991), une touche grunge assumée sur Watusi (1994), ou une légèreté pétillante avec l’EP Mini (1996). Après avoir dissous le groupe à la fin des années 90 pour fonder Cinerama, un projet plus influencé par la pop orchestrale, Gedge reforme The Wedding Present en 2004 et sort l’album percutant Take Fountain. Les années suivantes alternent entre tournées anniversaires célébrant leurs premiers albums et sorties discographiques, comme Going, Going… en 2016 ou 24 Songs en 2023, une compilation de singles publiés sur un an, poursuivant l’exploration des tribulations amoureuses de Gedge avec une énergie et une maîtrise intactes.

Built around David Gedge’s insistent voice and earnestly lovelorn lyrics, the Wedding Present are one of the founders and driving forces of indie rock in the U.K. Though the cast revolves around him, Gedge’s devotion to quickly strummed guitars, lively tempos, and sharp hooks has stayed the same since their first single in 1985. The band started off awkward and energetic on those initial singles and 1987’s George Best album, but as their confidence and instrumental prowess grew, their sound became richer and more powerful (1991’s noisy masterpiece Seamonsters), or happily grungy, (1994’s Watusi), or light and fizzy (1996’s Mini EP). After splitting up the band in the late ’90s to start the more orchestral pop-influenced Cinerama, Gedge re-formed the Wedding Present in 2004 and issued the bracing Take Fountain album. The years that followed saw the band alternating between anniversary tours to celebrate early albums and releasing records like 2016’s Going, Going… and 2023’s 24 Songs — the latter collected a year’s worth of singles, that continued to chart the course of Gedge’s romantic travails with undimmed energy and skill.
