Feb 12, 2013 British Sea Power By Mike Hilleary

British Sea Power has announced the arrival of their newest album Machineries of Joy. The follow-up to their 2010 LP Valhalla Dancehall the new record was written the Berwyn mountains in North Wales, recorded in Brighton, and is scheduled for digital release in the U.S. on April 2 and LP/CD formats on April 9. According to frontman Yan, ““We’d like to think the album is warm and restorative. Various things are touched on in the words - Franciscan monks, ketamine, French female bodybuilders turned erotic movie stars. The world often seems a mad, hysterical place at the moment. You can’t really be oblivious to that, but we’d like the record to be an antidote - a nice game of cards in pleasant company.”
