Description
Maxi is the 2026 EP by the Wedding Present, six new songs about driving that goes from britpop to post rock and back. 27 minutes of shambling bliss. In 1996, The Wedding Present released Mini - an EP featuring six tracks that all had connections to motoring. Almost thirty years on, David Gedge has revisited the concept with Maxi, a brand-new, six-track EP which is again loosely based around the theme of driving. Although Maxi follows the same concept as Mini, the 2025 model of The Wedding Present's vehicle is discernibly grander, with Gedge hinting that guitarist Rachael Wood - who was new to the band at the time of writing - might be one of the reasons why. 'Scream, If You Want To Go Faster' - the opening track - mesmerises with a slow-building, post-rock feel before it revs up to set the EP's tone and flows into the infectious riff of 'Grand Prix' - itself driven forward by the complexities of Wood's playing.
