British Sea Power
Brighton-based indie band, British Sea Power, release their 4th studio album on Rough Trade Records next month. The album is in fact a new soundtrack for the 1934 film Man Of Aran which is being re-released on DVD along with the British Sea Power soundtrack.
The release was preceded by the band performing the soundtrack at the BFI Southbank on 23rd April.
“It’s a wonderful film,” says guitarist Noble. “It’s a great look, like a 1930s Irish version of Jack White or Kraftwerk. It’s a film that’s also relevant to the current era – a time when the idea of living a simpler life is in the air. The film shows something I’d like to think I could do, but know I never will.”
The Man of Aran soundtrack will be available on CD and LP on 18th May.
