Maxi arrives hot on the heels of 40 – a commemorative reflection of The Wedding Present’s complex and fascinating catalogue across four-vinyl and four-CD formats, with the compilation’s final track being ‘Hot Wheels’ – a track from Maxi.
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.
