Title: A bore, simple as that
Product review: British Sea Power are being lauded as an eccentric English band with songs about the North Pole ( Oh Larsen B ) and playing concerts at the Chelsea Flower Show but they are so crushingly boring it's unreal. Admittedly the album starts off nicely but within 2 or 3 songs you notice that it becomes more of the same stuff again and again. The production on this is horrible as it just gives off a horrible lumpiness to the proceedings. If it were handled with a little more care, perhaps it might have sounded less forced. To their credit though the band have admitted this and that's fine by me.Incidentally, they've been playing a freeform gig with legendary Krautrock gods Faust. Apparently the drummer was doing one of these long drum solos which pissed off the lead singer of Faust so much that the singer went over and started punching him in the face and led to a bit of a brawl. The drummer ended up with a black eye. Ouch
