British Sea Power Announce New Album Details

British Sea Power have announced details of their new album which is set for release in 2008.

The follow up to 2005’s ‘Open Season’ will be entitled ‘Do You Like Rock Music?’ and is set for release on January 14.

It will be decided by a yet to be named single on January 7 and both will be release on Rough Trade.

The album was recorded in Canada, Cornwall and the Czech Republic with the production help of Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire), Efrim Menuck (God Speed You! Black Emperor) and Graham Sutton (Jarvis Cocker, Bark Psychosis).

Speaking about the album guitarist Martin Noble said: “Our first album was a bit wild and not to be listened to while riding a bike.

“The second you could play all the way through without falling off. The one is car or a tank - a wind-powered car or tank, but still faster than all the other cars or tanks.”

The album track listing is:

All In It
Lights Out for Darker Skies
No Lucifer
Waving Flags
Canvey Island
Down on the Ground
A Trip Out
The Great Skua
Atom
No Need to Cry
Open the Door
We Close Our Eyes
