Strong Vibes from British Sea Power

britishseaI’ve had friends who’ve toured and worked with British Sea Power, yet somehow this is the first track that really pulled me in immediately.  I love how the song builds from the get-go, with this really perfect vocal performance creeping in softly; I also like how the strings and horns are restrained until called upon by the band. It’s one of those songs that seems like the orchestration and vibe are pretty near perfect; I just imagine a cleaner, saner version of Flaming Lips or Polyphonic Spree…it’s orchestral pop music done like no few else. Their new effort, Sea of Brass, is being released on October 30th via Golden Chariot Records. You won’t be able to get enough of this track.

Show Preview: British Sea Power @ Mohawk (4/13)

Date Wednesday, April 13th
Location Mohawk
Doors 630p
Tickets $12 from Transmission

British Sea Power has been around long enough to where the odds are most people know their music, and in all likelihood, if you haven’t, you at least recognize their name. We won’t harp on about them too much, but we’re really excited about the opening bands that are kicking the show off. First, A Classic Education is one of the buzz bands of the year, having won many people over with their stylish pop, reminding us all what great music can be made of carefully plotted soundscapes.  Then there is Colourmusic, a band we’ve long supported, and loved. They’ve got a new album coming your way in May titled My _____ is Pink, and it’s a big step in a new direction, one that will surely find the band taking over the world.  Three great bands, one cheap price? That’s right, Mohawk on Wednesday night.
