Wedding Present, The: Bizarro (Vinyl LP)

The ever-prolific pioneers of UK indie, The Wedding Present, are embarking on an extensive reissue campaign. Most synonymous for their familiar depiction of relationships using acerbic wit, frontman David Gedge is a virtuoso when it comes to the bittersweet love song.

Originally released in 1989, Bizarro is the second LP released by The Wedding Present and the first to be released on a major label. Usually, this would hint towards a band on the cusp of selling out, but instead, Bizarro sees The Wedding Present hone their craft and toughen their formula as opposed to giving in to convention. The result was a career-defining record made up of fluctuating tempos and moods, establishing the band’s quintessential euphoric take on pop.
