British Sea Power, Brighton-based rock
ensemble, are proud to announce their
first single for Rough Trade Records.
These recordings will be accompanied by
live performances of uncommon valour
and, who knows, maybe, an exciting
live-firing exercise off Dymchurch

The band's new record consists of three
tracks - Remember Me, A Lovely Day
Tomorrow and Birdy. These three songs,
respectively, touch on the cerebral
cortex, Central Europe and the Common
Gull. This record follows their debut,
Fear Of Drowning/A Wooden Horse, which
appeared on the band's own Golden
Chariot imprint. The popular press
accurately compared this remarkable
release to "A Force Ten gale on the peak
of Scafell Pike."

British Sea Power are an all-male
quartet based in Brighton and district.
They play amplified rock music and dress
to look the part. Though courteous and
hygienic when licking stamps and
ordering general provisions, once placed
upon the concert stage they are remarkable
in their actions: quick of foot and
unafraid in their movements.

Originating in South Lakeland and West
Yorkshire, they aim to return honour and
diligence to a depleted artform.
Attractively positioned exactly midway
between Laibach and Belle & Sebastian,
they draw inspiration from James
Osterberg, Charles Lindbergh and the works
of mesmerist, pleasure-ground manager,
magic lanternist and pioneer film-maker
George Albert Smith.

Their first record, Fear Of Drowning/A
Wooden Horse, was recorded for their own
Golden Chariot label and released in the
Spring of 2001. These recordings drew
pleasing reaction from radio
programmers, while the popular press
decided that, "BSP create a sound like
North Sea oil rigs, isolated and dark,
but with a light that burns for 24

All the while, the band have been
presenting Club Sea Power, their own
monthly night, alternating between
Brighton venues The Lift and The
Freebutt. With its pine needles, effigies
of owl and heron and fully stocked beer
bar, Club Sea Power has become an
notable attraction for enlightened
minds and off-duty railwaymen seeking
sandwiches and a night out with Franoise
Hardy. It was at a Club Sea Power evening
that Rough Trade's Geoff Travis happened
upon the band. He immediately presented
the band with a recording contract.

The first product of British Sea Power's
association with Rough Trade is the
Remember Me single - available as
three-track CD and two-track 7-inch
vinyl. In full, the recordings are
Remember Me, A Lovely Day Tomorrow and
Birdy, songs that, collectively, alight
on memory, Moravia and the mournful
mewing of the seabird.

That is it so far. Please realise that
these are not intended as pretty words.
These are not diverting notions to be
set before the swine. Music and myth
are machines for the suspension of time.
These are mechanisms for which British
Sea Power have a full set of keys.

British Sea Power are:

Hamilton, bass/vocals

Note: This is a special promo CD that
incorporates both CDS1 and 2.
