The Decline of British Sea Power, released on Rough Trade on 2 June 2003, is the debut album from the English band now known simply as Sea Power, and it arrives fully formed and slightly unhinged. Yan, Noble, Hamilton and Woody swing from wiry, clattering guitar rackets to vast, windswept swells, the kind of range that has sent critics scrambling for comparisons from the Cure and Joy Division to Pixies.
"The Lonely", "Carrion" and "Remember Me" were all pulled as singles, and older recordings of "Remember Me" and "Fear of Drowning" did the rounds too, in versions that differ from the ones here. Even the sleeve is bookish: its quotation is a loose paraphrase of the closing line of Thornton Wilder's novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey. Open Season came next.
