Truth be told, British Sea Power have already announced the album details a while ago on their website, but the UK tour has just been leaked from their lips, which is where we come in to tell you about it.

BSP have been relatively quiet for the last few years, save for the chilled atmospherics of the "Man of Aran" soundtrack from 2009 and an EP called "Zeus" released last month, two tracks from which will appear on the forthcoming album "Valhalla Dancehall", due out in mid-January. A new single entitled "Living is so Easy" is due out today as a digital-download only and you can get a 30-second taster of the video right here.

And so to the long-awaited tour and the first night is in Cardiff on 7th February 2011, followed by Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham etc until the band returns to the capital on 27th. Tickets for British Sea Power go on sale tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at 9am, costing £13.50 regionally and £15 for London. Demand will be high!
