They’ve been accused of lacking an identity, but that’s not quite it the real problem lies with the fact that the identity they do have – nice, middle-class //whatstheirnames// with a grating air of precociousness they never seem to outgrow and a frontman whose quivering, trepidatious croak sounds like a melancholic sock-puppet attempting to solicit your pity – just isn’t a terribly interesting one. ![]() Whether as spindly indie kids (2009’s ‘I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose’), fey alt.folkies (‘Flaws’, in 2010) or dance-rockers (2011’s ‘A Different Kind Of Fix’), something about them always ends up ringing a little hollow. While Bombay Bicycle Club’s desire to approach every new album as an opportunity to reinvent themselves is admirable, it has led to a situation where none of their guises has lasted long enough to feel particularly satisfying. ![]() ![]() Bombay Bicycle Club – So Long, See You Tomorrow ![]()
