Bombay Bicycle Club Announce Their Return With New Album & Share Title Track “My Big Day” 

The British are coming… British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club have announced details of their return, sharing that their sixth album, My Big Day, is to be released on October 20, 2023, via Arts & Crafts. Alongside the announcement, the band have also released the title track as the first single. 

“My Big Day” is a typically unpredictable guitar song, exactly the type of music that the band revel in writing and are long since revered for.  An infectious and steady track, it alternates between a relaxed , almost languid flow to dive into a punchier, grittier chorus with the guitars coming in with full force followed by a rhythmic breakdown, all circling back in on itself to repeat as the song plays out. The track does have an accompanying music video, but it’s unfortunately not yet available in Canada so remains a bit of a mystery for the time being. My hunch is it’s just as fun as the track, though. 

The upcoming album was produced by vocalist/guitarist Jack Steadman at The Church Studios in North London and then back at the band’s own studio. A number of exciting guest vocalists will feature on the record, showcasing the breadth of the band’s widespread appeal. Damon Albarn, Jay Som, Nilüfer Yanya and Holly Humberstone all lend their voices across the course of the record, with a fifth special guest releasing a song with the band later this summer.

Stay tuned for more from the band as the album release approaches, and see if you can catch them at one of their many upcoming live dates in the meantime.
