Pavla Kopecna All throughout Theoretical Girl's set at SxSW back in March , I was wracking my brain trying to figure out who Amy Turnnidge, she who is the central abstract idea of the band, reminded me of. This didn't keep me from enjoying her set, but it was a relief and head slap when I finally put it together a week or two later - the name I'd been trying to dig out of my memory banks was Sarah Blackwood. Not the icy electro-pop queen she now is with Client , [...]

Manic Street Preachers by Nick Parker Growing Old Gracefully but it's a Mixed Bag that results... In the 1990s British music scene there were hardly any bands faster and more furious than The Manic Street Preachers . Leading the charge of Welsh guitar bands in the period, the Manics were also among the most radical of them, both musically and politically. Then of course, there was James Dean Bradfield's [...]
La banda inglesa British Sea Power es uno de los grupos más importantes de la escena ingle de Gran Bretaña y el guitarrista estuvo hablando sobre el desarrollo de su quinta producción . A través de un post en el sitio oficial del grupo , Noble reveló que ya escribieron unas 15 canciones para el todavía intitulado disco y además comentó que Graham Sutton , quien trabajó con ellos en la producción Do You Like Rock Music? , también estará involucrado.

Blogging on the band's website , British Sea Power guitarist Noble said, "We are well into recording and writing our 5 th album, and have over 15 songs on the go." The as-yet-untitled album follows in the wake of the Man of Aran documentary soundtrack released earlier this year. British Sea Power broke onto the U.K. music scene with the phenomenal The Decline of British Sea Power in 2003, and has a reputation for performances that include twigs, foliage, air-raid sirens, plastic birds, and the occasional 10-foot-tall bear. [...]
Det tyder på, at indierock/-pop bandet British Sea Power snart har deres femte album på gaden. Noble, der er bandets guitarist, skriver på bandets blog , at de på nuværende tidspunkt har hele femten nye numre klar til det kommende album, som bliver efterfølgeren til soundtracket "Man of Aran". Noble nævner også, at Graham Sutton, der var med til at producere British Sea Powers album "Do You Like Rock Music?" fra 2008, også giver sit besyv med på dette album. Sutton er eftersigende flyttet ind på samme gård, som bandets forsanger, Yan, har boet på det sidste år, og Noble forklarer, [...]
British Sea Power - Come Wander With Me
It's been a wee while since I threw some interesting cover versions your way. So much so, I feel it needs to be a quartet today - all of them covers of classics:- mp3 : British Sea Power - A Forest This is such a difficult song to cover. I've always felt that with this 1980 single The Cure created one of the all time classic goth anthems. Almost 30 years on the original hasn't dated one bit - it still fills [...]
We've come across System 7 as we've meandered through the alphabet. This time a proper post. System 7 is mainly Steve Hillage and Miquette Graudy, but originally it was a more freeform collective including members of The Orb, Greg Hunter and Youth. The only direct link from the '90s ambient house community to its space rocking forebear of the '70s, Steve Hillage played in the prog rock band Gong, released several solo albums during the late '70s and early '80s on Virgin, and later returned to music in the [...]
The line-up for next year's Perth International Arts Festival (February 5 - March 1) has just been released and it's fairly off the effing chain - Antony and the Johnsons, Dirty Three, HEALTH, Yo La Tengo, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, British Sea Power, Pivot and many many more . The prospect of HEALTH sideshows excites us greatly.
WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS We cover two gigs today that show off one established act and a band who find themselves at a rather more humble beginning. It's fair to say that this Scottish four piece pack no lesser punch however. We adore them, having previously covered them here and here . If you could bottle the energy and power that this young band play with then you would out-sell Coca Cola. With drums and guitars that sound as if they're being played by Thor himself and their ability to pen [...]
Something about the west coast seems to bring out the psychedelic in musicians. While the east adds grit and edge, the west seems to slow things down and throw them in a time warp. It only perpetuates that everything moves in cycles, and for one group of musicians, the summer (or fall) of love has only just begun. Sleepy Sun has the most appropriate band name for the sound produced that I've heard in a long time. This past July the band joined the rank and file of stoner rockers with their acid washed debut [...]
Another year, another CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival has gone by. It's hard, really, to overcome. The last couple of days of waiting in lines, of trying to schedule in four different showcases in one night, of buzz bands and special guests, there is a nostalgic twinge that maybe there was something missed. Maybe that band everyone will like next year was in front of me all along and I just slept on it. It could also be that no matter how carefully you planned your weekend, you were ultimately going to [...]
I Like Trains (the erratic capitalisation seemingly abandoned) are very much at the decent end of indie anthemics (on a scale that sees Elbow somewhere around the dodgy middle). Sea of Regrets is a downbeat tune that swells and builds gradually with strings, very much like British Sea Power (very much...) but with a more personal and mournful bent to the lyrics. The Spark is a less expansive affair, a fine downbeat tune belonging more to the tradition of the bruised indie crooner (but again right in amongst the good stuff). On this evidence [...]
Tonight is the first of two nights to catch Those Darlins [ download ] in town when they play the Silverlake Lounge with The Grates and Leslie and the Badgers . ... You know Brakesbrakesbrakes has got it goin' on when their singer quits British Sea Power (Eamon Hamilton moonlighted as keyboardist in the fellow Brighton band) to keep the touring going. They bring their high energy, Pixies-inspired Britishness to Spaceland with Chicago's Ezra Furman & the Harpoons and Rachel Goodrich . ... Thee Oh Sees (pictured), who [...]
Brilliant young ornithologists British Sea Power, doing "Carrion" (Bottom Of The Hill, SF, 2008) More from this show, and WAY more Noise Pop videos at Crawdaddy .
The Brighton , England band, known as Brakes to me and most everywhere except America, is known under the moniker Brakesbrakesbrakes stateside. Despite the "difficult to say five times fast" name they have when they come visit us, I found singer/guitarist Eamon Hamilton and bassist Marc Beatty to be extremely nice guys, as you shall read in the following exchange between us. In the first half of my interview with them prior to them sound-checking at D.C.'s Black Cat on October 5, they tell me about recording their latest [...]
The temperatures are beginning to drop and the leaves are turning. This inevitably means Halloween is nearly upon us. I love the music that is typically associated with "fall" and what better way to celebrate than a continuation of our annual Halloween Compilation? In typical spooky form we've added an additional 13 songs to the list this year. Enjoy and feel free to discuss your favorite Hallweenesque songs in the comments section. Also, don't forget to register for the third annual March of 1000 Skeletons which will be happening October 24th in downtown Oklahoma [...]
Oh yes, I've been to Cumbria. For the uninitiated, it's the very northern, remote part of England; full, as I remember, of natural beauty, rain and - in Barrow-in-Furness at least - very large and intimidating men. It's also the home of the strange and brilliant band British Sea Power, whose album The Decline Of British Sea Power is an oft-overlooked classic. Today's New Band, The Witch And The Robot , are from the same green, lush part of the world and are championed by, indeed, British Sea Power. This is as [...]
