Valhalla Dancehall (LP)

2011 release, the fourth album proper from the British Alt-Rock band. With it's title, Valhalla Dancehall invokes a wild-eyed internationalism, alluding to both the Norse mythos and Jamaican discos - to the Viking heaven and Caribbean good times. BSP are maybe unlikely to be taking up residence in downtown Kingston, but the album title and the music it comes with are antidotes to limited horizons and parochial mindsets. BSP have recently played live inside the Arctic Circle and atop the Great Wall of China. With it's ambition and sense of wonder, the new album mirrors such globe-girdling scope.
