So Long, See You Tomorrow - Bombay Bicycle Club's 4th Straight Hit Album..
1. So Long, See You Tomorrow is set to be the Londoners' 4th straight hit album in a row according to the critics...
2. The first single off the album, ‘Carry Me’ is a right barnstormer that is right up there with the best tracks from their previous albums, a mix of dance floor beats and gritty synths
3. The lads in Bombay Bicycle Club seem to have mastered the almost impossible to achieve combination of being borderline geeky and cool at the same time

4. The band met 9 years ago at the age of 15 and used to be called The Canals, but changed their name to Bombay Bicycle Club after a chain of Indian restaurants in the U.K., which is way cooler, if you know what we mean....
5. Guitarist Jamie McColl’s music credentials go further than the band themselves, he’s the nephew of the late, great Kirsty McColl of ‘Fairytale of New York Fame’
6. The band’s debut album, ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’ shot them onto the music scene and won the 2010 NME ‘Best New Band’ award, beating the likes of The XX, La Roux and Mumford & Sons
7. Lead singer Jack Steadman is a major hit with the ladies, or so it seems……
8. Steadman told the BBC website, that he spent 2 weeks with a Turkish family in their village after playing a gig there, and wrote some of what he says are his most experimental songs to date in a small room in their house, m’kay
9. Their last album, ‘A Different Fix’, was their third album to go Gold and their highest charting album to date reaching number 6 in the U.K. charts, we think the boys are going all the way to the top with So Long, See You Tomorrow…..ahem
10. Because we’re giving BBC’s new album a street credible 3.5 / 5 stars!
11. The new album So Long, See You Tomorrow, is released on the 3rd of February, let’s have another listen, shall we? Here’s their latest single, ‘Luna’ via Soundcloud
