British Sea Power - Open Season (15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

On the 15th Anniversary of its original release, Rough Trade Records reissue British Sea Power’s majestic second album, Open Season . The expanded reissue includes additional live sessions, B-sides and rarities from the period and extensive new sleeve notes.

The majority of the original album was recorded by Mads Bjerke (Spiritualized, Primal Scream, Girls
Aloud) and mixed by Bill Price (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sparks). Two tracks were recorded and mixed
by Graham Sutton (The Delays, Bark Psychosis) and Phill Brown (Sly Stone, Led Zeppelin, Talk Talk).
British Sea Power’s debut album, ‘The Decline Of British Sea Power’, was released two years prior to
‘Open Season’ in 2003. In the interim British Sea Power had toured the world with a series of excellent
groups including The Flaming Lips, The Strokes, Interpol, Pulp, The Killers, The Duke Spirit and The
Copper Family. Over the same period, British Sea Power had been acclaimed by a varied set that
included David Bowie, Bill Oddie, Radiohead, Jeremy Vine, Lou Reed, Ludovic Kennedy, REM,
Ian Rankin, Julian Cope, Jon Savage, Daniel Radcliffe and Damien Hirst. ‘Open Season’ is an album
with both lustrous pop thrill and ambitious, intelligent rock scale. An album where they sing of girls and
guillotines, love and Larsen B, the foremost of all the collapsing Antarctic ice shelves. They say that you
see great things from the valley, and small things from the peak. We feel confident that this record
brings you both perspectives. It’s Open Season again and anything is possible.
