Show synopsis Two years on from their debut album, the Wedding Present delivered a proper sophomore effort, Bizarro [Camden Deluxe Bonus Tracks]; one quite distanced from the jangle punk days of 1987's George Best. Though David Gedge's obsession with the lovelorn had by no means disappeared, the band finally found a way to frame his lyrics properly, resulting in a darker album with more emotional weight where needed. "Brassneck," the Wedding Present' first collaboration with engineer Steve Albini, became their biggest hit yet, peaking at Number 24 on the British charts. [Camden Deluxe's 2001 reissue features remastered sound, the entire Brassneck single, and three additional tracks.] ~ John Bush, Rovi Hide synopsis
