I just crawled out from under a rock, apparently.
Brighton based indie rock quartet, British Sea Power, have been in the back of everybody's mind for quite some time... but until I heard this album, I wasn't convinced. As an avid fan/critic of post-rock and epic instrumental numbers, in general, I never expected to be swept away by the likes of BSP. Talk about a pleasant surprise.
What the hell am I talking about? Let me backtrack...
In 1884, there was Robert J. Flaherty. Then there were motion pictures. Then there was Mr. Flaherty's blatant disregard for the well-being of a tribe of Inuit warriors. Then there was docufiction... which eventually gave us Man of Aran. At long last, there's Man of Aran but with a badass new score, from BSP. Observe...
This has been on my "to-do" list, for quite a while, now... and I'm kicking myself, hard, for putting it off until just yesterday.
Enjoy.
