Bombay Bicycle Club

ʻI Had The Blues But I Shook Them Looseʼ is the debut album by Jack, Jamie, Suren and Ed, four old schoolfriends from North London, known collectively as Bombay Bicycle Club. Itʼs a timeless, British debut, brimming with youthful urgency, honesty and romance.

Like its bashful creators, ʻI Had The Blues But I Shook Them Looseʼ doesnʼt feel the need to shout, scream or bluster to be heard. Instead, its chiming chords and sighed melodies blaze proudly like flushed cheeks on a cold day. From the dizzying MBV/M83 swoops and morning-after ruefulness of opener ʻI Had The Blues But I Shook Them Looseʼ to the ambitious, open-tuned, Appalachian folk feel of the albumʼs closing track, the album thrums with subtle invention and quiet emotional intensity. Fans of Bloc Party, Broken Social Scene and Bon Iver - or 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 thatʼs exactly what makes it precious.
