British Sea Power

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

A rather conceptual indie band -- one that's been compared more than once to Joy Division -- British Sea Power is a quartet from Brighton, England, comprising members named Hamilton, Noble, Yan, and Wood. Formed in the late 2000, their live shows began to receive notice early on, thanks in no small part to the large stuffed birds that perched on-stage and the militaristic uniforms worn by the bandmembers. Rough Trade's Geoff Travis was taken aback by one of the group's (literally) wild performances and signed them; by the end of 2001, they had two singl...[more]

 

 

Open Season is the second album from British Sea Power and it's an incredible piece of work. it epitomizes everything that is great about pop music right now. Literate, impassioned and full of tunes, it feels like the product of a band who know their time is finally now. British Sea Power have made an album that lies exactly midway between julian casablancas and julian cope - an album with both lustrous pop thrill and ambitious, intelligent rock scale. An album where they sing of girls and guillotine   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. The Decline of British Sea Power isn't your conventional pop record and it's not particularly a pop-sounding record from an English band. With garage rock ruling overseas and Brit-pop still making the charts in the new millennium, a four-man band from Cumbria arrived with a provocative post-punk sound brazen enough to blast away other indie rock fashionistas like Interpol and the Walkmen.

Do You Like Rock Music? is upon us. It was recorded around the world - with Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire), Efrim Menuck (God Speed You! Black Emperor) and Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker, Bark Psychosis). It's also an album that looks the world squarely in the eye. "It's our version of Doctor Jekyll And Mr Hyde," says BSP guitarist Martin Noble. "It's about cherry wood and Kevlar - about the good and the bad.

Man Of Aran is a powerful and provocative dramatized documentary from the late American filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty. In a series of startling black and white sequences, the film presents daily life on the inhospitable Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland. This is the accompanying soundtrack. 'The band has crafted a wintry, nuanced, and bold collection of epic songs that integrate the sweeping theatricality of Arcade Fire-era indie rock without all of the insularity' - All Music.   [ read more ]

British Sea Power's 2003 debut album was a fascinating post-punk-inspired set that sparked artful originality and thought-provoking emotion. Their follow-up, Open Season, does the same but it's much more of a streamlined affair. Open Season is virtually a 45-minute waltz of lilting string arrangements and dreamy vocals while acoustic and electric guitars chase the album's quiet golden tones. A theme of the great outdoors makes it a relaxed occasion from start to finish; the 11 songs featured are   [ read more ]
