• Track Listing

'The Decline of British Sea Power' is the long awaited debut album (after 3 precursory singles on Rough Trade) for one of the most innovative, visionary bands of our time. Pigeonholers may be quick to note the passing resemblance to the more adrenalized elements of late 70's/early 80's new wave, from Joy Division to Magazine but there's also a sublime undercurrent of romantic nostalgia for wind-up wirelesses & discontinued bombers here too. Includes the previous singles 'Remember Me' & 'The Lonely' plus forthcoming singles 'Carrion' & 'Fear of Drowning'. 11 tracks packaged in digipak format. Rough Trade. 2003.
