In a little over three years, the band will have released three LPs \u2013 an extraordinary and increasingly rare feat in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century music industry. From the teenage indie kicks of their debut; to the sparse, timeless folk of last summer\u2019s top ten album, \u2018<em>Flaws\u2019<\/em> (nominated for an Ivor Novello Award); the quartet open a new and beguiling chapter with, \u2018<em>A Different Kind of Fix\u2019, <\/em>one that<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong>cements their place at the very forefront of<strong> <\/strong>British bands in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded in Hamburg, London and Atlanta, \u2018<em>A Different Kind of Fix\u2019<\/em> captures the sound of a band effortlessly progressing and innovating at a startling rate. Guitars are firmly plugged back in for album number three, but added to the mix with potent results are synths, sampled loops, layered vocals from all four band members and washes of reverb throughout.<\/p>\n<p>The sheer breadth of styles and range of influences on display across the record is startling.<\/p>\n<p>First single, \u2018<em>Shuffle\u2019,<\/em> emerges from a looped piano sample to burst forth into one the band\u2019s biggest songs to date, as the piano loop recruits gargantuan drums and bass that march to an epic chorus on their way to a house break of Balearic proportions.<\/p>\n<p>Album opener, \u2018<em>How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep\u2019 <\/em>is all marble steeped vocal loops and breathy samples, which are also used to devastating effect on \u2018<em>Lights Out, Words Gone\u2019<\/em>:<em> <\/em>a song of such rarefied beauty and rhythmic hooks, one imagines a lost, codeine-fuelled Talking Heads album.<\/p>\n<p>For more see: <a href=\"http:\/\/bombaybicycleclubmusic.com\/\">bombaybicycleclubmusic.com\/<\/a> \/\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcd.ie\/\">www.mcd.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie hero\u2019s Bombay Bicycle Club have just announced details of an exclusive headline performance at the Mandela Hall, Queens University, Belfast on Tuesday 1st May 2012.
