British Sea Power have shared a new single, Bad Bohemian.
The track is taken from their new album, 'Let The Dancers Inherit The Party', which is due to arrive on March 31 and follow up 2015's 'Sea of Brass' and 2013's 'Machineries Of Joy'.
Discussing it, guitarist Martin Noble said:
“It was made to a background of politicians perfecting the art of unabashed lying, of social-media echo chambers, of click-bait and electronic Tonka Toys to keep us entertained and befuddled. All this can easily make the individual feel futile. But I think we’ve ended up addressing this confusion in an invigorating way, rather than imprisoning the listener in melancholy. Musically, it’s our most direct album and maybe the first one where we maintain a coherent mood from start to finish. Perhaps a little clarity isn’t a bad thing at this point. There wasn’t a plan to create an album with any particular subject matter but we’ve kind of ended up with a case of ’think global, act local’ – an album where individuals are dealing with their domestic and personal lives against a background of uncontrollable international lunacy.”
The indie troupe will follow up the record's release with a UK tour, calling in Bristol, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester, London and Birmingham between April 6 and 13. Tickets are on sale now, with prices ranging between £16.00 and £19.50 plus fees.
