The third album from The Artist Formerly Known As British Sea Power, now simply going by Sea Power to avoid being mistaken for Brexit'n'Boris types, Do You Like Rock Music? landed in 2008, and is at long last getting a very special reissue. Announced in anticipation of the album's 15th anniversary, fans can look forward to an expanded tracklist that includes radio sessions, b-sides, and extensive notes to accompany its release, as well as being able to finally get their mitts on the album itself. The Guardian praised it highly on its release, calling this "the glorious sound of a unique band going for broke", - Flying Out
Rough Trade Records are excited to announce the reissue of Sea Power’s Mercury Prize nominated Do You Like Rock Music?. The album will be expanded for this 15th anniversary reissue with radio sessions and B-sides and extensive new sleeve notes.
This kaleidoscopic record encapsulates Sea Power's true heart. The album takes in meteorological disaster (‘Canvey Island’), celestial pollution (‘Lights Out For Darker Skies’), a rousing and intricate anthem to European unity (‘Waving Flags’) and a moving instrumental named after a piratical sea bird, ‘The Great Skua’, a track that has gone on to soundtrack several conservation films. The track ‘No Lucifer’ illustrates the scope of the album, a composition that places Big Daddy’s TV wresting chant (“Easy, easy”) beside Biblical ideas of Armageddon.
