Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Even from the title, The Decline of British Sea Power, it is apparent that the band ooze a quintessentially British style. With an indie swagger echoing the simmering frustration of Joy Division, the gloomy melodies of the Psychedelic Furs and the enchanting irony of the Smiths, British Sea Power have a distinctly retrospective feel. Despite having one foot firmly entrenched in the sonic mire of the 1980s, the Brighton-based quartet are also astute observers of contemporary absurdities. Mixing war imagery with the mundane, The Decline of British Sea Power is a strikingly urgent artful album that pieces together life's contradictions with a seductive feisty charm. With the likes of the operatic "Men Together Today" and bass-driven furious assault of "Apologies to Insect Life" coming back to back it's immediately apparent that this trenchant debut album is worthy of the hype generated by their string of acclaimed preceding singles. Previous A-sides "Remember Me" and "Fear of Drowning" are both in attendance, having been completely rerecorded, while "The Lonely" is doubtless one of the most delightful moments in recent angular guitar-pop history. Having taken their time to launch this album, British Sea Power have refined the beguiling mix of wry wit, brooding melodies and rousing angst-fuelled sonic attacks to perfection and can look forward to a long voyage ahead. --Christopher Barrett
