Bombay Bicycle Club have today unveiled the video for their new single ‘Shuffle’, which you can watch at the bottom of this article. The track is the lead single from their upcoming third LP ‘A Different Kind Of Fix’, and since being debuted in June the song has received extensive radio play and an impressive reception at festivals all over Europe.
In a little over three years, the band will have released three LPs – an extraordinary and increasingly rare feat in the 21st century music industry. From the teenage indie kicks of their debut; to the sparse, timeless folk of last summer’s top ten album, ‘Flaws’ (nominated for an Ivor Novello Award); the quartet open a new and beguiling chapter with, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’, one that cements their place at the very forefront of British bands in 2011.
Recorded in Hamburg, London and Atlanta, ‘A Different Kind of Fix’ captures the sound of a band effortlessly progressing and innovating at a startling rate. Guitars are firmly plugged back in for album number three, but added to the mix with potent results are synths, sampled loops, layered vocals from all four band members and washes of reverb throughout.
Production-wise, the album reunites BBC with Jim Abbiss - who produced their debut - and also introduces them to Ben Allen – noted for his work with Animal Collective - whilst lead singer, Jack Steadman co-produces throughout.
'A Different Kind Of Fix' is scheduled for release on August 29th through Island Records. You can watch the official video for ‘Shuffle’ below:
