Sea Power brings experimental rock music fused with cinematic soundscapes. An intoxicating atmosphere evoking the sublime wilderness in musical form, upon a stage decked out with foliage and shrouded in fog. Guitar monoliths tower, cornet and viola trace constellations above a world both beautiful and on the brink. Foliage, fog, and glowing atmospheres create panoramic, immersive experiences where the post-industrial and the primeval collide. Time Out named them Live Band of the Year, a reputation reinforced by tours with The Flaming Lips, Interpol, Pulp, The Killers, and Manic Street Preachers.
From CERN’s particle tunnels to Beijing’s clubs, from New York’s Bowery Ballroom to the dinosaur halls of the British Museum, Sea Power explores the alternative edges of rock music and reimagine it as the sound of ecological mythology, a soundtrack for the Anthropocene.
Sea Powers members are Jan Wilkinson, Neil Wilkinson, Martin Noble, Abu Fry, and Phil Sumner.
“Two fingers for the dead, two fingers for the living. Two fingers for the world that we all live in.” Two Fingers
“Sea Power belongs to a parallel present tense, running alongside our mundane reality, which doesn’t seem to have a chronological start or end point. They are that vital thing: a band who, had they not existed, no one else would have thought to invent them.” The Quietus
...Oh the heavy water how it enfolds, the salt the spray the gorgeous undertow.... From the sea to the land beyond.
A BSP gig is like drowning and then rebirth. When they're at their hysterical, chaotic, insane best - often accompanied by giant dancing bears and onstage acrobatics - BSP can channel most of the alternative and indie influences of the last 40 years to create something truly original but weirdly familiar.
Capable of live sound-tracking movies and now experimenting with Brass Bands. Always just one great leap away from mainstream success, which they deserve but certainly don't need - one of the last remaining integral English indie bands with their credibility intact.
...Always, always, always the sea, Brilliantine Mortality!
