The tireless British indie rock group British Sea Power will be releasing a new seven-track EP titled The Zeus EP on Monday October 4th (10/5 in the US and 10/12 on vinyl). As a preview, they’ve provided us with the first single free called, well, ‘Zeus.’ The EP is a precursor to a new fourth album, which will be out in January of next year. The EP was recorded in East Sussex and (I’m sure Skye will be happy to hear) on the Isle of Skye.
