“Shuffle” is the new single from London based Bombay Bicycle Club, taken from their forthcoming third album; “A Different Kind Of Fix,” set for UK release on August 29th.
A return to electric guitars from the acoustic stylings of latest album “Flaws” was promised in the build up and recording of “A Different Kind Of Fix,” however the most prominent instrument conveyed on “Shuffle” is the opening, jaunty piano sample. Sounding as though stripped from a 1930’s motion picture, recurring throughout the whole song, with varied tempo’s, over Saram’s back-beat, so typical of the band’s earlier classics. As well as Steadman’s dominating, unique vocals.
Thus, “Shuffle” marks a completely new move for the band, but is nevertheless bound to be a feel-good hit of the summer and their new album will surely be worth acquiring, even just to see what’s next from Bombay Bicycle Club.
