“… the execution for his frustration is point perfect– his sleepily conversational vocals fold into his sunny, jangling guitars seamlessly” Pitchfork
“Scott & Charlene‘s Wedding are the neo-indie bomb” Mojo
“Scott & Charlene’s Wedding pull off the trick of playing every song like it’s the first time.” The Quietus
Following their autumn tour of Japan, Scott & Charlene’s Wedding announce their new album out September 2016 which features ‘Delivered’. Taken from their new EP of the same name, it will finally be available on 12” 24th June.
Scott & Charlene’s Wedding’s Craig Dermody is the voice of a generation, it just so happens to be a generation mired in dead end jobs while smiling into the sunshine as they wonder when someone is going to show up and call the cops on the party again.
Returning to Melbourne after a year of touring, with stints in New York and London and a quick trip around the world, Dermody’s writing reflects a new found weariness to wrap around his usual heart-on-sleeve lyrics and tales of everyday life. Never at a loss for a jangly riff or a humorous and poignant tale, Dermody doesn’t mature so much as he marvels at his inability to mature.
“Delivered” plays out as if Pavement had been bowing at the altar of The Velvet Underground instead of The Fall, all tied together with a Bowery rasp as if Richard Hell had grabbed the microphone. Picking up where the band left off with 2014’s “Back On The Tools” EP and their brilliant show-closing cover of The Go-Betweens “Karen”, the new material bursts forward with the usual ragged charm, propelled by an all-star band.
News on the new album to be announced shortly.
