Free Music Notes for Open SeasonFree Music Review: This is an amazing record
British Sea Power is a unique band that emerged from the first wave of new British music that included Libertines and Franz Ferdinand. The Libertines came out with their second album and disappeared. Franz Ferdinand are working on theirs. The Power have come out with their sophomore effort when the next crop of bands (Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Kasabian, and Razorlight) are already looking for some booty. At first this record is deceptive. Nothing initial stands out. I have already written somewhere that I found their songwriting on their first album to be amazing and totally inspired. Some of that vibe is continued on this journey. The first two songs sound like tracks from the first album. "Be Gone" is the most worthy song. "How Will I Ever Find My Way Home" is part of the new sound, which is remarkably like a Luna song. It has that relaxed and not trying feeling. There is a quiet mood on a few tracks (Honeycomb, North Hanging Rock) that are much like the Velvet Underground. "Please Stand Up" is probably their best song here. It competes with their great songs of the first album. The wander into Phil Spector territory on "To Get To Sleep." After I listen to this album a few times, I realize that they have made a subtle great album. It is something that has lasting power. If The Libertines are the Pistols, Franz are the Clash, then British Sea Power are Wire. They have that unclassifiable quality that has many dimensions and cannot be immediately reacted to.
