The North Londoners have returned for what will be their fifth studio album in four years and have yet again taken a completely new and exciting departure from their last albums.
New song Carry Me shows Bombay Bicycle Club’s sound with much more of a dance, hands in the air attitude to it. BBC have not been scared to delve into new musical endeavors in the past and have yet again managed to create that classic indie anthem whilst still keeping the sounds fresh and current.
The video itself is also new and intriguing as the viewer gets to play director and control the band members and dancers actions throughout. The video tries to reflect the new albums’ artwork paying homage to 19th Century photography Eadweard Muybridge, known for his pioneering work with stop-motion photography.
Frontman Jack Steadman produced the album from the bands studio in London giving the album that intimate and authentic feel. Jack did however write a number of the songs whilst traveling countries such as India, Turkey and Holland and believes that many of the cultural aspects of these countries can be heard on the new album.
The band have been rewarded and nominated for a host of awards over the years and can expect the same again, if Carry Me is anything to go by. Check out the song and exciting new video on the bands website, link posted below. The track is available to download now with the album due out February next year.
