“Heather” by Wedding Present

"Heather" sits on Seamonsters, the Wedding Present's third album, from 1991, and like every song on it the title is a single word, a pointed break from the long, sentence-length titles the music press had spent years poking fun at. David Gedge wrote it, words and music.

The record was cut in just ten days by the American producer Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, after he had already made the Brassneck and 3 Songs EPs with the band, and like those it sounds rougher and harsher than the English band's first two albums. Guitarist Peter Solowka was fired between the sessions and the release, with Paul Dorrington taking his place.
