It seems like ages since the last British Sea Power album, and we’ll have to wait until 2008 until the next one. Luckily only ‘til 14th January when ‘Do You Like Rock Music?’ appears. The band have been working with a trio of interesting production names – ex-Arcade Fire drummer Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s Efrim Menuck, as well as Jarvis Cocker’s knob-twiddler Graham Sutton.
"Our first album was a bit wild and not to be listened to while riding a bike,” explains BSP guitarist Noble cryptically. “The second you could play all the way through without falling off. This one is car or a tank – a wind-powered car or tank, but still faster than all the other cars or tanks".
Erm, right.
In the meantime there’s a tour. The gig at Whitecliffs Café in Saltdean sounds interesting. Is it a real café, does anyone know?
