Bombay Bicycle Club enlists Damon Albarn, Holly Humberstone, Nilüfer Yanya for October album

This sounds like a mini Coachella sampler, as I've seen BBC and its album guests at the festival in recent years...

British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club return with their sixth studio album, My Big Day, due for release on October 20 via AWAL.

The album was produced by vocalist/guitarist Jack Steadman at The Church Studios in North London and the band’s own studio. It features guest vocalists Damon Albarn, Nilüfer Yanya, Holly Humberstone and others. 

The album’s title track has an accompanying video directed by Jon Higgs from Everything Everything and Kit Monteith (a long-time friend of the band, who plays percussion for Foals when not directing music videos). Look out for international versions of the video, translated and with local graphics, launching on June 21.

Listen to the single, “My Big Day,” HERE and watch the video HERE.

Jack sits on both sides of the glass for the duration of the record, having previously produced their fourth album So Long, See You Tomorrow, and co-production with John Congleton for 2020’s Everything Else Has Gone Wrong. Additional production comes from Paul Epworth (Adele) on the track Heaven and Ben Allen who co-produces Turn The World On—the band previously worked with Allen on their hit single Shuffle back in 2011.

The record was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT, HAIM).
