Open season

"British Sea Power's 2003 debut album was a fascinating post-punk-inspired set that sparked artful originality and thought-provoking emotion. Their follow-up, Open Season, does the same but it's much more of a streamlined affair. Open Season is virtually a 45-minute waltz of lilting string arrangements and dreamy vocals while acoustic and electric guitars chase the album's quiet golden tones ... This album feels alive and breathes honesty. Such an impression once again makes way for British Sea Power to stand apart from their counterparts (Doves, Coldplay, South)".

"Outdoorsy indie celebrated with expanded set ... The deluxe extras of B-sides, radio sessions and rarities show a surfeit of worthy material".

"BSP's overlooked second gets its dues".
