Bombay Bicycle Club announce new album

This week, Bombay Bicycle Club announced the details surrounding the release of their third EP, a follow up to 2010′s Ivor Novello nominated acoustic album Flaws. The band, who are a quartet from London, revealed that the eagerly anticipated record will be released on August 29. This is to be preceded by the single Shuffle which will get its world exclusive airing on Zane Lowe’s Radio One show on June 22. The album which is titled ‘A Different Kind Of Fix’ was recorded in Atlanta, London and Germany, with work on the album beginning late 2010.

It is also revealed that the band have looked to venture down an intriguing new route, with the group going back to their electric roots as well as the introduction of synths and layered vocals. Frontman Jack Steadman has previously hinted to this when stating, “The first time I played it to any of my friends was at a house party and none of them believed it was Bombay Bicycle Club.” Bombay’s forthcoming album has been produced by both Animal Collective producer Ben Allen and Jack Steadman. This news defines an extraordinary journey for Bombay Bicycle Club who first came into the fray after winning Channel 4′s Road To V competition in 2006 which saw them bagging the opening slot at the 2006 V Festival on the Channel 4 Stage.
