The Wedding Present return with their new album, Going, Going…, this September and, above, you can check out the lead single, ‘Bear’, right now.
Speaking about the album, frontman David Gedge says: “I’d already decided [soon after the 2012 release of their 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 video for ‘Bear’ below is one of those videos that has been made to accompany each track on the album which opens with four instrumental songs before taking in a selection of tracks that fans of the band will no doubt enjoy. Going, Going… is out on September 2.
