Album Review: Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow

Bombay Bicycle Club hinted at a record like this with 2011's A Different Kind Of Fix, but even their most one-eyed fans could not have anticipated an LP so tranquil and transcending. The quartet have bridged the gap between the indie style of London and the exotic sounds of the East, with harmonies removed from the clutches of a Scandinavian winter. Guitars now take a firm backseat behind synth splashes, looping, beats, chimes and tribal percussion. It's a musical journey around the world, and will no doubt soundtrack plenty of escapism in 2014.
