British Sea Power have announced the details for the upcoming album, Machineries of Joy scheduled to drop April 9, 2013. Read on for more details.

It has been about two years since this indie England based band produced a studio album. This upcoming one is said to be the follow-up of Valhalla Dancehall. Vocalist Scott Wilkinson, better known as Yan, said that the album “is warm and restorative…Various things are touched on in the words – Franciscan monks, ketamine, French female bodybuilders turned erotic movie stars. The world often seems a mad, hysterical place at the moment. You can’t really be oblivious to that, but we’d like the record to be an antidote – a nice game of cards in pleasant company.”

A week prior to the store-wide release, fans can purchase the album digitally online. Here is a full track listing for the album:
