The Wedding Present Issues Holiday Single

Following up May’s damn fine El Rey LP, the Wedding Present has issued “Holly Jolly Hollywood,” a download-only, three-song Christmas single available from iTunes. The title track is a song frontman David Gedge and bassist Terry de Castro wrote while living in Los Angeles, and it features duet vocals from Cali sing/songwriter Simone White. A cover of “White Christmas” and an acoustic version of “Holly Jolly Hollywood” (with de Castro doing White’s vocal part) round out the single. The Wedding Present also contributed a cover of “High” to Just Like Heaven, the upcoming Cure tribute album.
