    Hi Anthony Fantono here, the internet's biggest music nerd. Lol jk!
    So what do yall think of Bombay Bicycle Club's latest LP? Its definitely another evolution to their sound. While it is essentially a return to an electric album after the acoustic 'Flaws', they have expanded there sound and made use of looped vocals to create great atmospheres in 'How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep' and 'Lights Out, Words Gone' and the bouncy backbeats in 'Shuffle' They also use pianos on two tracks. I think it is a really great album. Lucy Rose sings backing vocals on quite a few tracks and her voice accompanies frontman Jack Steadman's just lovely. I don't think its as immediate as the brilliantly titled debut 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' but after a few listens it becomes clear this is a special record :D

    I havent heard this new album yet but I think these are a great band, the real deal. Shuffle is a cool song, looking forward to hearing more.

    Very good album although I find the latter half of it doesn't hold my attention as well as the first 6 songs, it slows down after 'Shuffle'. They've done well to evolve their sound on this one though.
