Time and again we are drawn into that great unknown, the imagination, en masse. Either to escape from our day-to-day, or for inspiration to draw upon; it’s unimportant. What is important is the finished product by British Sea Power, Valhalla Dancehall, to which only the imagination can be credited.
British Sea Power are practicing poets who project all their charm through the form of quaint English gentlemen. Valhalla Dancehall combines the perfect mix of melody and rhythm into its adventurous soundtrack, melding pop with the sounds of fairy tale fantasy.

British Sea Power is not unknown. As their name suggests, they’re a force to be reckoned with, although there is something deeply sentimental that exists as their driving purpose. The group, based in Sussex (naturally), has been recognized by such big names as The Flaming Lips, The Killers, and The Strokes. Since debuting to rave reviews in 2003 with The Decline of British Sea Power, they’ve grown stronger and stronger and today with their signature streamlined perfection, have produced yet another visionary work for the world weary.
