Bombay Bicycle Club New Album & Tour

• 1st Apr 2009

Bombay Bicycle Club will release their astonishing debut album ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’ on July 6th through Island Records.

‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’ was recorded in Autumn ’08 at Konk studios in Crouch End. Bombay Bicycle Club chose it not because of its state-of-the-art facilities, but because it was “round the corner”. Sessions were helmed by studio vet Jim Abbiss, the producer of landmark debut albums by Arctic Monkeys, UNKLE, Kasabian and Adele.

From the dizzying MBV/M83 swoops and morning-after ruefulness of the LP’s opening song to the ambitious, open-tuned, Appalachian folk feel of the record’s closing track, the album thrums with subtle invention and quiet emotional intensity.

Monday April 13th – London Kings College (Artrocker Presents)
Tuesday 14th April – Club NME @ The Lanes, Bristol
Wednesday 15th April – Club Academy, Manchester
