"Corduroy" is one of David Gedge's songs on Seamonsters, the Wedding Present's third album, and its single-word title is part of the plan: after years of being ribbed in the music press for titles that ran to whole sentences, the band gave every track on the record one word apiece.
Steve Albini cut the album at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, in 1991 and needed only ten days, having already made two EPs with the group, and Seamonsters came out rougher and harsher than the Wedding Present's first two records. Guitarist Peter Solowka was fired after the sessions but before the release, with Paul Dorrington stepping in.
