I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose

Description

Bombay Bicycle Club release their astonishing debut album I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose (recorded by long-term producer Jim Abbiss), a beautifully literate and ambitious debut. From the dizzying My Bloody Valentine/M83 swoops and morning-after ruefulness of the LPs opening song to the open-tuned, Appalachian folk feel of the records closing track, the album thrums with subtle invention and quiet emotional intensity. Fans of Bloc Party, Broken Social Scene and Bon Iveror any mildly sensitive soul with a fondness for ricocheting guitar chords will be utterly beguiled. Indie rock rarely gets to enjoy its innocence these days, but Bombay Bicycle Club know thats exactly what makes it precious.
