Do You Like Rock Music?, which was released in January on Rough Trade Records, is the third album from British Sea Power. It was recorded in the Czech Republic, Canada and Fort Tregantle – a 19th Century fortification up on the Cornish cliffs in the U.K.
The album was preceded by the single “Waving Flags,” which the band describes as “a stirring choral-rock tribute to Polish plumbers and groundbreaking nudist Hedy Lamarr.”
