On the 15th anniversary of its original release, Rough Trade Records reissues British Sea Power's majestic second album, Open Season. The expanded reissue (gatefold colored vinyl + zoetrope picture disc) includes additional live sessions, B-sides and rarities from the period plus extensive new sleeve notes. The majority of the original album was recorded by Mads Bjerke (Spiritualized, Primal Scream, Girls Aloud) and mixed by Bill Price (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sparks). Two tracks were recorded and mixed by Graham Sutton (The Delays, Bark Psychosis) and Phill Brown (Sly Stone, Led Zeppelin, Talk Talk). Open Season is virtually a 45-minute waltz of lilting string arrangements and dreamy vocals while acoustic and electric guitars chase the album's quiet golden tones. Yan Scott Wilkinson's literate, richly descriptive words paint a gallery of pictures in each song, and the ensemble's penchant for pitch-perfect songcraft keeps things fresh and engaging.
