British Sea Power have debuted the title track of their forthcoming album ‘Machineries Of Joy‘ on YouTube, and have also unveiled the LP’s artwork (pic).
The song acts as the first single to be taken from its parent album, which is due for release on April 1st through Rough Trade after being written and recorded in north Wales and Brighton.
“We’d like to think the album is warm and restorative,” singer Yan has commented.
“Various things are touched on in the words – Franciscan monks, ketamine, French female bodybuilders-turned-erotic movie stars. The world often seems a mad, hysterical place at the moment. You can’t really be oblivious to that, but we’d like the record to be an antidote – a nice game of cards in pleasant company.”
The album will be supported with a UK tour kicking off in Exeter shortly after the album’s release on April 4th. A final date later arrives on April 17th at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London.
