Bombay Bicycle Club, have given fans a taster of what they can expect from their much-anticipated new record.
The band unveiled ‘It’s Alright Now’, their second song (available to download now on iTunes) from their forthcoming album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ (out February 3rd 2014). The song had an exclusive first play by Huw Stephens on Radio 1 and premiered online at Noisey.
Bombay fans will get ‘It’s Alright Now’ and ‘Carry Me’ as instantly downloadable tracks when they pre-order the band’s new album now. ‘Carry Me’ has now had over 625,000 views through various online video platforms, with viewers spending an average of 8 minutes and 17 seconds on the fully interactive video.
‘It’s Alright Now’ opens with a melancholic looped electronic chiming that marks a distinctive transition in sound for a band that are better known for their indie rock credentials. The song style is probably the closest of the tracks to the band’s previous album ‘A Different Kind Of Fix’ but gives us a glimpse of the more experimental melodic electronica and looped samples the new record has to offer.
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.
