This summer, a rocker girl I know listened to British Sea Power's "Blackout" forty times in one day -- right before the power grid blew out all across the Northeast. So blame the blackout on British Sea Power, five young Bowie boys from Brighton who specialize in mystical jumbo-size guitar waves. They intone their poetic angst in grand ballads such as "Remember Me," "Carrion" and the fourteen-minute feedback splurge "Lately." It's all absurdly pretentious (sample lyric: "Now you have drunk all your beer/Go drown your empty selves"), and all worth it.
