BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB returned last month with their exciting new single 'Shuffle' from their upcoming third album 'A Different Kind Of Fix'.
People didn't know which direction they'd take next since the first album 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' was purely electric, pumping out tune after tune from popularly loved 'Always Like This' to my personal favourite 'What If'. Following up from their debut was 'Flaws', taken in the opposite direction being completely acoustic. Jack Steadman continued to still write beautiful lyrics and put together with the music, the tracks on there are so wonderful to listen to over and over again.
Where could they possibly go next? Electronic and dancey? Oh no no. 'Shuffle' may make you want to dance, but the only electronic element is the keyboard used mainly at the beginning and continuing in the background throughout. There's something so subtly summer-y and something so catchy about this track. The rhythms are upbeat and the melodies are exciting and vibrant. Lucy Rose provides a beautiful accompaniment to Jack Steadmans vocals, making 'Shuffle' sound even more marvelous. This is such a wonderful insight into where Bombay are heading with this album and what to look forward to when it comes out August 29th.
Feast your eyes and ears on this:
