British Sea Power - Open Season 15th Anniversary - 2LP

On the 15th Anniversary of its original release, Rough Trade Records are excited to announce that a reissue of British Sea Power's majestic second album, 'Open Season', will be released on 6th November, 2020. The expanded reissue will include additional radio sessions, B-sides and rarities from the period, plus extensive new sleeve notes. There is also a Limited Edition vinyl gatefold version of 2,500 copies, with one disc on blue vinyl and the other with a zoetrope image. The majority of the original album was recorded by Mads Bjerke (Spiritualized, Primal Scream, Girls Aloud) and mixed by Bill Price (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sparks). Two tracks were recorded and mixed by Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker, Bark Psychosis) and Phill Brown (Sly Stone, Led Zeppelin, Dusty Springfield). Not just a marvellous album, Open Season comes with optimism attached... It's a triumphant lesson in sweeping gracefully towards the mainstream with your imagination and mystery intact. - The Guardian All of this unique oddness would not, of course, mean a thing without the music, and this is an album without a single duff track. - NME By maintaining their singular aesthetic while venturing into more inviting pop sounds, the weirdest band from Brighton just might have become the smartest. - Pitchfork Less chaotic and parochial, more serene and accessible, but no less magical. - MOJO
