Sea Power, formerly known as British Sea Power, is an indie rock band from Brighton, England, celebrated for their unique sound and artistic approach. Formed in 2000, the band is recognized for their blend of post-punk, alternative rock, and art rock, along with poetic lyrics often inspired by nature, history, and obscure cultural references. Renowned for their live shows, Sea Power often stage performances in unusual venues, such as harbors, castles, and mountaintops. They integrate theatrical elements, including on-stage appearances by mascots like a giant bear.
The song ‘Tiger King‘ is from their 2009 album ‘Man of Aran‘. It’s an atmospheric and evocative piece that carries a feeling of isolation and desolation, fitting well with the themes of the album, which is inspired by the documentary ‘Man of Aran‘, a 1934 film about life on the Aran Islands.
In 2019, the band were commissioned to compose an original soundtrack for Disco Elysium, a narrative-driven role-playing game which explores themes of existentialism, politics, and personal identity through the lens of a detective unravelling a mysterious case in a surreal, decaying city. The soundtrack includes tracks like ‘Whirling-In-Rags’, ‘Your Body Betrays Your Degeneracy’, and ‘Elysium’. These pieces enhance the game’s melancholic and reflective atmosphere, often accompanying moments of profound dialogue or exploration.
Disco Elysium earned significant recognition at the 2020 BAFTA Games Awards, winning three prestigious awards: Best Game, Best Narrative, and Best Music.
Tickets for Sea Power’s 2025 UK tour dates are available from tomorrow, Friday 13, through their official website.
