Watch: British Sea Power Unveil ‘Machineries Of Joy’ Video

As they announced back in January, British Sea Power are set to release a new album next month.

The Brighton-based quintet will unleash fifth album ‘Machineries of Joy’ on 1st April, once again via Rough Trade. The record is the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Valhalla Dancehall’ and marks a decade of the band.

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

Now, following from them streaming the title track last month, there’s a video for it.

The promo was made by Clare Tavernor and Angus Sutherland.
