Subject(s):
British Sea Power, NumbersUK indie-rockers British Sea Power were Ivy League smarty-pants way before Vampire Weekend came on the scene.

The quartet still makes big, grandiose pop tunes that require at least a couple of Wikipedia searches to decipher, but the pleasures are decidedly more visceral this time around.
