British Sea Power UK Tour Dates

• 1st Feb 2013

British Sea Power’s new, fifth album ‘Machineries Of Joy’ will be released on 1st April 2013 on Rough Trade Records. The album release will be accompanied by a full UK tour, dates of which are below.

“We’d like to think the album is warm and restorative,” says singer Yan. “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.”

Thurs 4 April – Exeter Phoenix
Fri 5 April – Birmingham Library
Sat 6 April – Newcastle University
