Steve Miles, with When Britain Was Great, deconstructs reactionary nostalgia and the myth of the "good old days," denouncing hollow patriotism and selective heroism. The lyrics also explore introspection and vulnerability, as in The Space She Left, while allowing room for joy and curiosity on The Sea Is A Pirate's Best Friend. Musically scrappy and human, the album blends DIY punk melody, bursts of brass, and distortions, reminiscent of The Television Personalities or Wreckless Eric, for a heartfelt and artisanal songwriting.
