User Album Review
As if to stabilize its weighty subject matter, Let the Dancers Inherit the Party is a remarkably steady album, at times to a fault. “You said the world was losing all its luster,” Yan sings on the opening “Bad Bohemian,” and so the group spends the next 47 minutes restoring its shine with gleaming starlit-surfaces, synth smears, and pulse-regulating mid-tempo motion. As such, brother Hamilton’s usual come-down contributions are even more subdued than usual, culminating in a closing, string-quivering reverie, “Alone Piano,” sculpted out of the Velvets’ “Heroin” haze. But while Let the Dancers Inherit the Party may not encourage the anarchic onstage theatrics that have defined the British Sea Power live experience, its cool composure belies a shrewd show of force. In the face of the political upheaval at home and abroad, British Sea Power offer a suitably British response: keep calm and carry on. --- pitchfork.com
