British Sea Power : Do You Like Rock Music? (Rough Trade) Given that this album was produced by Howard Bilerman (drummer on Arcade Fire's "Funeral Album"), Efrim Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and Graham Sutton (Bark Psychosis), it's epic grandeur is really no surprise. With its layers of soaring guitar, thundering drums and chanting vocals comparisons to Arcade Fire are inevitable, particularly on tracks like "Waving Flags" and album opener "All In It". There is much more to this album though: although the big surging sound is pretty much full on, there's some lovely intricate instrumentation, lots of clever pace changes to keep you on your toes, and unlike pretty much every indie band around lately, they actually have a story to tell too. With "Do You Like Rock Music?", they've finally fulfilled the promise shown on their previous albums. Already an album of the year contender! Hu, GY!BE and ASZM ,a nd Bark Psychosis who once RUMBA our heroes.. opinions? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 19:49:35 -0000 From: "Keith Knight" Subject: RE: [idealcopy] jeffrey lewis / bsp Glad you're enjoying 12 Crass Songs, Paul. All of Jeff's other stuff is recommended too, but it's live where he really shines. I must have seen him 10 times now and he's never let me down. I've heard 'Waving Flags' from the new BSP album and it sounds, well, like BSP really. I suspect this is one of those early-in-January races to find the first great album of the year that happens most years now. Unless it's a radical departure from its predecessors I agree that it will be unlikely to trouble many top tens come December.

Two of my fave tracks of the year. 23 Yrs...obviously.
