What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Phil feeling unmoved.

The British Sea Power are back with a new single called Waving Flags and as you'd expect there's no massive change to their formula. There's bits of David Bowie, Psychedelic Furs in there... Ant thinks the guys voice sounds like Chris Martin. I think some of the music reminds me of the more bombastic moments of early Arcade Fire. On 3 formats and a super special multibuy deal which spells bargain. For what it is it's not a bad tune at all.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
