Album Description

{$British Sea Power}'s 2003 debut album was a fascinating {\post-punk}-inspired set that sparked artful originality and thought-provoking emotion. Their follow-up, {^Open Season}, does the same but it's much more of a streamlined affair. {^Open Season} is virtually a 45-minute waltz of lilting string arrangements and dreamy vocals while acoustic and electric guitars chase the album's quiet golden tones. A theme of the great outdoors makes it a relaxed occasion from start to finish; the 11 songs featured aren't a schoolbook interpretation on life's hardships as much as they are a reflection on the confusion (and love) of nature. Frontman {$Yan} and his brother {$Hamilton} remain charming eccentrics, but this time they're poetic with their stoic, overcast outlook on modern life. The question {$Yan} seems to ask throughout {^Open Season} is whether or not life is really crap. Commencing with the copper-toned {&"It Ended on an Oily Stage,"} {$Yan} softly croons, "We found God in a parking lot." He ponders whether the experience was actually real, and if it has ever happened to anyone. {&"How Will I Ever Find My Way Home?,"} an emotional seesaw of crunchy guitars and sheeting percussion, is oddly comfortable with the album's continuous mental inquisitions. The bird echoes of {&"Please Stand Up"} match the ice-capped perils of {&"Oh Larsen B,"} maintaining the album's rich affections. Some might think that the five Cumbrian intellectuals have made their shining {\pop} moment with this record despite {$British Sea Power} making it quite obvious on {^The Decline of...} that they're anything but a {\pop} band. {$British Sea Power}'s smart approach on {^Open Season} showcases a band in progress. This album feels alive and breathes honesty. Such an impression once again makes way for {$British Sea Power} to stand apart from their counterparts ({$Doves}, {$Coldplay}, {$South}). ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Album Description

{^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}. The hypnotic album opener {&"Apologies to Insect Life"} is just as intense as any {$Joy Division} song and {$Echo & the Bunnymen}'s early work. However, {$British Sea Power} will not be characterized as a parody. For musicians only in their early twenties, {$British Sea Power} are intellectually complex with their inquisitive lyrical tales about Russian literature, Czech history, and influential figures of time. To call them eccentric would deem them quirky and that's not all. They're musically spontaneous and frontman {$Yan} composes erratically charming songs reflecting nature in its most literal and perplexing senses. From the dreamy wonder of {&"Carrion"} to slagging off the royal regime on the brassy {\punk}-toned {&"Remember Me,"} {^The Decline of British Sea Power} is vehement in color and substance. The 13-minute mind trip {&"Lately"} could very well be the album epic; however, {&"The Fear of Drowning"} is <I>the</I> genius standout. It's rich in space and time with its cascading guitar work, intrinsically dark with its own life lesson of having independent thoughts far away from socio-political ideals. {$British Sea Power} are so convincing, it hurts. {^The Decline of British Sea Power} is a conceptual effort that breathes hard in passion. With an unlikely {\rock} blend of classicism and narrative, {$British Sea Power} has composed a brilliant album that's nearly perfect. It's not exactly {\pop}, but it might as well be. [The US version includes two extra tracks: {&"Childhood Memories"} and {&"Heavenly Waters."}] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
