Following its debut play on Zane Lowe's Radio One show last night, Bombay Bicycle Club have premiered the video for their new single 'Luna'.
'Luna' is taken from the band's forthcoming album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ (out February 3rd 2014). The song is a euphoric assault on the senses, opening with a creeping tabla rhythm loop that then launches into a duet between Jack and Rae Morris, building to an epic chorus, altogether sounding like the accompaniment to the closing credits of a film. Much has been said about the musical deviation the band have taken on 'So Long, See You Tomorrow' and first single 'Carry Me' definitely gave us a taste of the shift forward. 'Luna' is also immersed in panoramic electronic synth loops like its predecessor but features a more worldly influence exhibited by the rest of the album.
The Band, who unveiled their living breathing artwork last week also announced their first major UK headline tour in two years, starting in Leeds on Sunday 2nd March, which is almost completely sold out already.
