Do You Like Rock Music?
Mix brit pop with a dash of arcade fire-like choruses and a pinch of unintelligible dadaism and you got Rock Music, that is at least what British Sea Power like to proclaim. Welcome to these guys' third attempt to show off their charisma in creating incredible pop hooks with mildly dark overtones out of thought-provoking themes as well as somewhat irrelevant and often incoherent material.Although the protagonists of their newest album are among other things Polish plumbers, vintage bicycles and subatomic physics, this shouldn't deter you from enjoying their grand composures, lush tunes, heavy guitar outbursts, and of course their trademark bittersweet croonings. Their sound is definitely not consistent from track to track and in this aspect there is small resemblance to their previous work, but it's this low-grade diversity in musical expression that makes their lyrics stand out as a characteristic monument of BSP's intellectual madness.
In the end, you can say what you want about those brits, but one thing you can't deny is that they will fool you into singing along their lunatic poetry. Isn't that what Rock music is about anyway?
