Songs from the Wedding Cake

Tom Ogden stood in a room filled with his bandmates and his new sister-in-law, Katie Donovan, to finalize the lyrics for what would become Songs from the Wedding Cake. Released on October 2, 2026, this sixth studio album from the English indie pop quartet arrived through ODD SK Recordings and Distiller Records. The project emerged directly from Ogden's marriage to Donovan, transforming personal milestones into a sonic map of domestic life. It captures the quiet chaos of everyday moments alongside marital friction without losing its rhythmic drive.

The record balances wistful nostalgia with sharp energy across fourteen tracks. While streaming platforms initially displayed shorter lists, the full edition delivers a complete narrative arc. Lead single "Joke About Divorce" set an immediate tone of intimacy, followed by "Meet Me in Love" and "Additional Driver." That third track features guest vocals from Declan McKenna and secured a spot on the EA Sports FC 27 soundtrack alongside the song "Husband." Critics noted how the band transformed their recent nuptials into universal themes that felt both communal and deeply personal. [edit]
