Fresh from the critical adulation for their debut, The Decline Of British Sea Power, the new faces of Brighton rock release this double header from the album.

Carrion is by no means the best track they could have chosen, but it works well as a single with its central refrains "I felt the lapping of the ebbing tide" and "always the same". It is occasionally reminiscent of Major Tom-era David Bowie or early Pulp, but with Yan's breathy vocals distinctive in their own right. Apologies To Insect Life, meanwhile, is a whirlwind, its ecstatic shouts and big bass line closer to Manchester in the late 1970s than Brighton.

With two majestic, down-tempo B-sides, including the instrumental Heavenly Waters, this single will raise British Sea Power's profile even higher.
