Artist- British Sea Power
Album- Valhalla Dancehall
Label- Rough Trade
Having never understood the appeal of BSP, their new, fifth album does nothing to help me out. Bloated, spacey and orchestral indie rock and no longer at their peak. Guitar swells and U2-level grandstanding. Perhaps it’s just not my cup of tea. #5 (Mongk II) is the clear standout track, a Krautrock reworking of the so-so track “Mongk” from the Zeus EP. “Thin Black Sail” is a random 1 ½ minute post-punk rocker. Overall, BSP seems to have lost the plot on their newest album.
