Bombay Bicycle Club – Live at Vicar Street Dublin.

The four-piece released their new album, Everything Else Has Gone Wrong, on the 17^th of January. It is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the British band's acclaimed number 1 charting, Mercury Music Prize nominated fourth album, So Long, See You Tomorrow, released back in 2014. The new album was largely recorded in the US alongside Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St Vincent/Sharon Van Etten/War on Drugs). It features the band's euphoric new single, Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You). The video was directed by Louis Bhose, the band's old touring keyboardist who has quickly become the go-to director for countless artists in recent years (Michael Kiwanuka & Tom Misch, Lewis Capaldi, Loyle Carner).

Of the record's title, the band said: “This is an album for anyone who's ever turned to music in a time of crisis, whether personal or political. It's about the solace one can get from listening to music or playing music when everything else has gone wrong. It's about finding kernels of hope and renewal in dire situations.” The band have continued to grow, develop and evolve since the release of their debut album, I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose, back in 2009 when they signalled their arrival as young teenagers. Rarely in recent years has there been a British guitar band who have the craft and ability to avoid categorisation whilst uniting hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe. With an innate ear for melody and invention, Bombay Bicycle Club are a very welcome return to the fold just as British guitar music makes a timely renaissance.
