Bombay Bicycle Club have lovingly crafted album six – My Big Day. It’s a powerful, expansive body of work, replete with an irrepressible dose of joy, too.
My Big Day also found the band’s studio door wedged open for a collaborative experience, inviting the likes of Damon Albarn, Jay Som, Nilüfer Yanya, and Holly Humberstone who all feature. There’s a special guest appearance to be revealed later in the year too.
Whilst the guests came and went as they pleased, the band posited themselves on both sides of the glass for this record, with Jack manning the production chair (save for ‘Heaven’, produced alongside Paul Epworth, and ‘Turn The World On’ with Ben Allen – who they’d previously worked with on ‘Shuffle’).
On first listen, Bombay Bicycle Club have opened up the curtains and let this revelatory set of vibrant, joyous compositions bask in the sunshine. It’s an album that means business, sculpted by one of Britain’s best guitar bands. They’ll take it to stages across the world next, and that’s a show you won’t want to miss.
Gengahr
Over the last few years we’ve all been forced to pause and reflect. With life returning – but not as we know it – we all experienced that sense of starting over and asking ourselves if things could ever be quite like they were before. Acclaimed London indie four-piece Gengahr have been through the wringer, too – taking stock and making peace with everything they have been through. Now they’re back, with a career-best fourth album and a new lease of life.
Released on their own label with a new team behind them and a new lease of life, new album ‘Red Sun Titans’ is the sound of a band reborn – harnessing the energy and inspiration of their past but with a bold and fiercely independent vision for the future. It’s an album “caught in between two worlds,” as frontman Felix Bushe puts it – a colourful celebration where you’ve come from, and dreaming of where you could go from here.
“We’ve done this for a long time and it’s always been a struggle, but also a labour of love. We’re just happy to be making what we consider to be great music – that’s what drives us forward now.”
