Do You Like Rock Music? by British Sea Power

Do You Like Rock Music? is an Alt/Indie album by British Sea Power, originally released in 2008. On Gatefold: 13 pressings tracked.

About

Following a brief but dramatic choral intro, British Sea Power’s third album swiftly goes about answering its titular query in the affirmative. Bearing the serrated edges of their early singles, “Lights Out for Darker Skies” and “Atom” fuse post-punk urgency and garage-band scrappiness—all needling guitar riffs and gut-punching rhythms. But that adrenaline boost also drives them to ever-grander gestures: “Waving Flags” is an ecstatic, anthemic celebration of newly arrived immigrants; “Canvey Island” is a stirring, string-swept account of a fatal flood.
