British Sea Power's 2003 debut, THE DECLINE OF BRITISH SEA POWER, is a hard record to pin down. In that sense, they are England's answer to Yo La Tengo, an indie rock band who can frolic in a sea of Sonic Youth-esque punk fuzz on one track, then create the most flutteringly exquisite (and lyrically acrobatic) pop this side of the Smiths' glory years on the next. On "Apologies to Insect Life," the band gets lost in post-punk reverie, an energy not relinquished on the rockabilly fever of "Favours in the Beetroot Fields." On the other end of the spectrum lies the Smithereens-meets-Echo rock ballad "Remember Me" and the shimmering "Carrion," the latter one of the more catchy `00s indie power ballads (certainly the best to sport the phrase "brilliantine mortality"). While it's a somewhat difficult album (and would prove polarizing), it's also a stunning bow by a vibrant band featuring some of the most potent rock songwriting of its era.
