The Wedding Present: Valentina
Aug 6th, 2012 by mallen
“Valentina is the Wedding Present’s ninth full-length album….Almost every note, lyric, and sound could have appeared on any Weddoes record of the past 20 years or so without any problem. Lyrically, David Gedge is still wrestling with the same relationship issues, sorting through the emotional debris with his usual mix of arch detachment and brutal honesty. And as long as Gedge keeps striking out so spectacularly with the ladies, he could easily keep delivering records as tough and true as this one until he’s carted away for the last time.”–All Music Guide
