British Sea Power back with new LP, Machineries Of Joy
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 28 January 2013
British Sea Power are, as the headline says, back. And since they’re back, they may as well release an LP, and that’s just what they’re doing via their fifth studio set ‘Machineries Of Joy’.
I’m quite fond of that title, as is in-band vocalist Yan, who says: “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”.
Yeah, totally. Now that we’ve all faced that reality, it might be nice to face this tour itinerary:
4 Apr: Exeter, Phoenix
5 Apr: Birmingham, Library
6 Apr: Newcastle, University
7 Apr: Glasgow, Oran Mor
9 Apr: Leeds, Met University
10 Apr: Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
11 Apr: Manchester, Gorilla
14 Apr: Cardiff, Coal Exchange
15 Apr: Portsmouth, Wedgewood
16 Apr: Norwich, Waterfront
17 Apr: London, Shepherd’s Bush Empire
