Any appearance of nautical schtick in British indie rock is a thing of joy, and to be celebrated, slotting seamlessly as it does into the lineage of eccentricity in our pop music. And lo, as if British Sea Power couldn’t make the maritime allegiance any more apparent, along come past tourmates The Victorian English Gentlemen's Club to outdo them with their second album Love On An Oil Rig, hosting a thoroughly delinquent on-deck party involving songs of dumb parrots and nautical male inadequacy, prodigious volumes of rum, cigars and swashbuckling libido.
