Description
British Sea Power release their new album Valhalla Dancehall, recorded in Sussex and on the Isle Of Skye.
Valhalla Dancehall is the bands fourth album proper, following the Mercury-nominated Do You Like Rock Music? in 2008 and the Man Of Aran soundtrack in 2009.
With its title Valhalla Dancehall invokes a wild-eyed internationalism, alluding to both the Norse mythos and Jamaican discos to the Viking heaven and Caribbean good times. British Sea Power are maybe unlikely to be taking up residence in downtown Kingston, but the album title and the music it comes with are antidotes to limited horizons and parochial mindsets.
British Sea Power have recently played live inside the Arctic Circle and atop the Great Wall Of China. With its ambition and sense of wonder, the new album mirrors such globe-girdling scope.
The album was co-produced by British Sea Power and Graham Sutton, who the band worked with on Do You Like Rock Music? and the Man Of Aran OST.
Available on double heavyweight vinyl with download coupon.
