British Sea Power

Open Season

Editor's Review:

Unafraid to display their gloomy, ‘80s influences such as Joy Division, yet never shying away from sheer rock power, British Sea Power create a truly passionate sound. My only complaint would be the somewhat cheesy/creepy vocals of frontman Yan. On some songs it sounds like he’s whispering in your ear, trying to seduce you. However, that doesn’t even put a dent in the solid songwriting appearing on Open Season. Each track is as dense and chilly as a patch of London fog, partly due to the production of Mads Bjerke. Quite a power indeed.
