[new] British Sea Power – Zeus

I am a happy boy today. Do you want to know why? There is a new song available to listen to from British Sea Power. With it comes the announcement of a new 7 song EP with the same name. It will be released digitally on October 5th, with a physical 12″ release on October 12th, all via Rough Trade.

“Zeus” is both the name of their new song & EP. It starts with a throbbing rhythm section that builds and builds until all tension is relieved with heaven bound guitars. It’s a typical British Sea Power encouraging rocker where the sky’s the limit. When everything comes together, you’re in a far better place than when you once started.

It’s good to have you back BSP.

The band accompanied the song with this blog entry:

Technically, you could argue this is a mini album, but we like to think of it as a MAXI EP.
After being away for a while, and with the album release date going back to January, we thought we’d be generous.

So there is a new full length on the way soon, early next year. Great, great, news!

Here’s the EP’s artwork:
