No longer British Sea Power? Well you know... brexit, had to sell to pay the bills. Now known as Estonian Sea Power.

damn, the minute a brown person gets to be PM and they no longer want to be associated with Britain? disappointing.

Profile updated to Sea Power, check. Now if we could only get last.fm to fix the redirect (Sea Power goes to Sea Power + Change, which is not correct). Because of this, I changed my scrobbles for the 2022 record back to British Sea Power, because I don't want to throw them away.

BSP is such a better name but if they want to change it I don't think it's "hyper-woke" or anything. it's a little annoying like every band name change but I get why they did it

Agreed. Some nonsense about not wanting to be nationalistic. Another bending of the knee to the idiots with delicate sensibilities.

"In retrospect, our original name was intended with something of the spirit of 1950s situationism – turning a slogan back on itself, looking to give it new meaning. Recently, we’ve been thinking more about the name in relation to history. The idea of British sea power is almost synonymous with the British empire – many nations subjugated by one nation. Yet British sea power could clearly also be on the right side of history. Without it, Nazi occupation of these islands would’ve been much more likely. In our statement, we emphasised that we are in no way ashamed of being British: “Removing the word ‘British’ does NOT indicate any aversion to the British Isles whatsoever. We all feel immensely fortunate to have grown up in these islands. We love these lands.” Indeed, the band now live along the length of Britain – from the Sussex coast to the Inner Hebrides."

Let me first start with I'm an American. The reason I first became interested in this band is because I thought the name "British Sea Power" was cool. I never had any inclinations of nationalism. I thought you chose the name due to England's proud naval history.

По коментариям такое чувство что большинство узнало о группе только благодаря Диско Элизиум. Ну и я среди них, очень хорошо приплели их музыку к игре

I wanna wake up everyday to "Whirling-In-Rags, 8 AM" playing in my building before going to work with a bad hangover

If you're looking for their Disco Elysium-ish stuff, listen to their album "From the Sea to the Land Beyond." A few tracks from that are in the game (such as "Red Rock Riviera").

Потрясающая инди-рок группа, достойны лавров не меньших, чем какие-нибудь Аркад Файр или Киллерс.

I remember dismissing them after hearing 'No Lucifer' a couple years ago and not knowing what on earth to do with this band, but I gave 'em a second chance recently and it turns out that song is not really that representative of BSP's work.
