The Wedding Present / Going Going… deluxe four-disc box set
The Wedding Present‘s ninth studio album, Going, Going, is a true multimedia affair and is being issued as a good-value box set that combines short films on DVD, the album on CD and 2LP, plus a bonus seven inch single.
Bandleader David Gedge explains the thought process: “I’d already decided [after the last album] that I didn’t want to make the next release just another album and so I came up with the idea of twenty interconnected pieces of music. Then, in the summer of 2014 I travelled across the USA with photographer Jessica McMillan and we made some atmospheric short films to accompany the tracks. Since then it’s been a case of progressing through the music, trying all sorts of ideas, seeing how they work set against the visuals.”
The album was recorded at Studios La Fabrique in the south of France and Parr Street Studios in Liverpool with producer Andrew Scheps.
As well as the double vinyl, CD and DVD the box comes with a seven-inch single featuring four acoustic versions of songs. If you don’t want all the vinyl in the box set, then Going Going will also be available as a simple CD+DVD combo package.
All formats will be issued on 2 September 2016 and The Wedding Present will perform the album in its entirety with projections of the accompanying films at five specially selected venues across the UK later this year.
