A Wild and Genre-Bending New Release from Wedding

EP release from Wedding delivers an invasive and addictive approach to blending and bending genres at free will by way of putting together some of the best elements of breakbeat, garage rock, cinematic underbelly, and a bit of a rambunctious feel.

The Jobseeker EP is absolutely amazing at bending the rules and just serves as a perfect example of a record that's created with no boundaries, so that it's completely free, and because of that, it's refreshing and robust.

The record starts with "Cake", which is an amazing track to introduce the EP with, simply because it gives you some of the great Staples that the rest of the release holds.

The jungle and break beat attribute is heavy-handed, fast-paced, and is blended with vast undertones performed by synths, elements of guitars that are layered in, and these vocal samples that are cut and chopped into the song so that you have these amazing layers of texture that come together and create an atmosphere that's really in your face.

What kind of blows me away about tracks like this is the energy level. The energy is always so high, and it has a lot to do with the instrumentation along with the breakbeat approach, but it also has that spacious attribute to it as well, and that never goes anywhere.

It's laced with all different kinds of melodies, hyper-pop attributes, and loads of influences under its belt, and serves as an unbelievably entertaining single.

"Jobseeker", the record's title track, starts off with a bit more of an electronic approach. It brings in glitchy, chopped synths that are driven by a straightforward house style beat, and it has an outstanding way of growing from there.

The snare sound on this track is immense. It's reverb-drenched, and the whole thing has this kind of edgy overtone, giving it an almost alternative backbone.

Then again, that's what this is. This is an alternative record that blends everything from electronic, breaks, jungle, hyper-pop, rock, and so much more.

This is exactly what I mean by a record that doesn't have walls built around it or set itself under any boundaries.

Sounds like this provides a lot of drive and helps really build the energy of the record even more.

"Kanal Bodega" is also a wild track bringing back that breakbeat effect and lacing in some vocals that feel really vintage in old-school. I love how they aren't afraid to bring in some of those influences and elements of '90s music into the mix as well.

This one has a lot of amazing textures going on and still has a lot of that reverb effect as well. Everything is distant and feels very lush.

I love a record like this because it can give you this almost anxious energy and activity, while still having that expansive underbelly so that it feels very spacious, and because of it, you end up getting engulfed in what it offers.

What is probably the most experimental track on the record is its closing track, "Texa Blade", has it blend all of the above in one shot.

You have amazingly experimental synths and keys, loads of vocal chops coming in and out, wild beats that pack a lot of punch, and it all feels intense. They're bringing loads of great guitars and, I honestly can't tell if their samples are laid in instrumentally, but either way, it sounds amazing as mixed in with the rest of the track.

This one really provides a lot of the rock backbone and comes through kind of heavy, which I really love. It also gives you loads of chord progressions and hooks that blend with those synthesizers and sharp beats incredibly well.

This single isn't without its vast synth pads, bringing you those calmer, more spacious moments, but all in all, it was the song on the record that we really combined everything perfectly.

This is an EP with a very particular aesthetic, and once you dive in, there's no going back.

It's a record you listen to all the way through from start to finish, all in one shot. It becomes such a great experience doing it this way.

There's no one song on the record that defines the entire thing. This is another reason for listening to the full release.

So, if you haven't checked this out yet, certainly dive into it right now because it's definitely outside the box, fun, loaded with musical character, charisma, edginess, alternative backbone, and a sort of rambunctious approach that just feels good to soak in.

Remember where you heard it first.
