Seriously, one of the best albums to come out of the UK in a long, long time, this new album on ROUGH TRADE RECORDS from Brighton, UK-based BRITISH SEA POWER is a stunner.
It's little wonder this album debuted #13 on the UK mainstream charts.
Every single review from the UK has been overwhelmingly positive - 5 and 4 stars have been the common them, such as the following:
"A listening experience of enduring reward... Pulse-quickening, hair-bristling... One for the Albums Of The Year lists, or there's no justice." (5/5, The Independent On Sunday)
"There are tracks as surely summer-festival-defining as Please Stand Up, as heartbreaking as North Hanging Rock... Is it just me, or is it going to be one of the all-time-great musical years?" (5/5, The Sunday Times)
"Grand pop swagger... Epic drama and emotion... Anthemic, ringing hooks that Coldplay would kill for... A splendid achievement." (5/5, Andy Gill in The Independent)
"Wonderfully different... a sound that breathes with originality, poise and grace. This is an album that features not a single duff track." (8/10, Ian Winwood NME 2 page lead review).
