- To mark the 15th anniversary of Open Season, watch the video for It Ended On An Oily Stage - one of the singles taken from the album - in HD for the first time.
Rough Trade Records are excited to announce that a reissue of Sea Power’s majestic second album, ‘Open Season’, will be released on 6th November, 2020. The expanded reissue will include 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

Discovered this band in middle school roughly 17 years ago, and still have yet to meet a person who knows of this amazing band.
Hi. I know of this amazing band.
They exist brother :)
I discovered this great band in early 2006 I was 22 years old then great times and memories
SUCH an underrated band
A truely immense, and underated band. They ooze life and joy from all of their music
Heard this whilst getting tattooed :)
Really quite lovely this
i love this band very much ♥
just brilliant.
Absolutely love this video - BSP's best I think, reminiscent of their earlier ones for Childhood Memories and Spirit of St Louis.
We also found god in a Wiltshire field. Walked from Durrington walls through the landscape to Stonehenge. Tremendous song
Everything you said was true
Everything you did was you
Everything I started with her
Ended on an oily stage where
I wrote elegiac stanzas for you
I hope and pray that they come true
He found God
In a parking lot
And you did not
I, I headed for the coastal reef
Regions of mind
To see what I'd find
But I do understand
Why they're looking at you
As if you ever really cared
All across the Eastern Board
Languages were being lost
You look so elegantly bored now
Totally at ease with it all, yeah
Whilst you were drunk, oh, you let it all slip
I hope and pray that it's okay
He found God
In a Wiltshire field
Whilst you did not
I, I headed for the coastal reef
Regions of mind
To see what I'd find
But I do understand
Why they're looking at you
As if you ever really cared
He found God
In a Wiltshire field
And you did not
I, I headed for the coastal reef
Regions of mind
To see what I'd find
