Bombay Bicycle Club’s new album ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ is out today via Island Records / Caroline International.
So Long, See You Tomorrow was produced by Jack Steadman in the band’s studio in London, making it their most personal record to date. There was always purpose from the beginning to bring everything together for this album, to tell a story from the first track through to the finale with everything interconnecting as a complete body of work. “The whole creation process was a really honest one. Jack’s not afraid of us saying a part or lyric doesn’t work so we were able to all be very involved at every level”, says guitarist Jamie MacColl. They called in Mark Rankin (in top form having recently mixed QOTSA …Like Clockwork and Alunageorge Body Music) to help record and mix the album. The album also features familiar vocal contribution from Lucy Rose as well as impressive newcomer Rae Morris.
The straightforward guitar patterns have gone out the window and in their place a juxtaposition of tough, offbeat rhythms with shimmering keys, techno blips as well as Bollywood movie samples over exotic instruments like the marimba (played by drummer and percussionist Suren de Saram). It is a record that is almost impossible to categorise and without doubt a defining record for a band that are not even halfway through their twenties.
So Long, See You Tomorrow is available now on iTunes here.
