British Sea Power have shared a second track from their upcoming new album, Let The Dancers Inherit The Party
‘Keep On Trying (Sechs Freunde)’ is a driving, direct cut described as a "love letter to friendship", carrying a motivational message of perseverance in its chorus as well as drawing somewhat on themes surrounding the UK’s decision to leave the European Union.
The band’s new album is set for release on March 31. "It was made to a background of politicians perfecting the art of unabashed lying, of social-media echo chambers, of click-bait and electronic Tonka Toys to keep us entertained and befuddled," says guitarist Martin Noble. "I think we’ve ended up addressing this confusion in an invigorating way, rather than imprisoning the listener in melancholy. Musically, it’s our most direct album and maybe the first one where we maintain a coherent mood from start to finish."
The band will tour through April following the album’s release, taking in dates in Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, London and more. Details on those shows can be found here.
