Rough Trade Records are excited to announce that a reissue of Sea Power’s majestic second album, ‘Open Season’, was released on 6th November, 2020. The expanded reissue included 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).
Sea Power’s debut album, ‘The Decline Of British Sea Power’, was released two years prior to ‘Open Season’, in 2003. In the interim Sea Power had toured the world with a series of excellent groups including The Flaming Lips, The Strokes, Interpol, Pulp, The Killers, The Duke Spirit and The Copper Family. Over the same period, Sea Power had been acclaimed by David Bowie, Bill Oddie, Radiohead, Lou Reed, Ludovic Kennedy, REM, Ian Rankin, Julian Cope, Jon Savage and Daniel Radcliffe. ‘Open Season’ is an album with both lustrous pop thrills and an ambitious sense of rock scale. An album where they sing of girls and guillotines, love and Larsen B, the foremost of all the collapsing Antarctic ice shelves. They say that you see great things from the valley, and small things from the peak. We feel confident that this record brings you both perspectives. It’s Open Season again and anything is possible.
“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
