Bombay Bicycle Club working on new material after restarting last year

Bombay Bicycle Club have been back playing music together ‘since late last year’ and are now working on new material, according to an update on their socials.

The band spent the first half of this decade as one of its most prolific, but have been quiet since that hard work was rewarded in 2014 when So Long, See You Tomorrow went to number one in the UK charts.

Now though, after working on various projects separately since then, the quartet are back together. “We were initially a little rusty but also nostalgic playing songs that have been around since we were teenagers,” the post continues. “More than anything it just felt great to be in the same room playing again. It made us realise what a good thing we have and has given us renewed energy and enthusiasm for the future.”

“The joy we were getting out of playing the old songs seemed to naturally lead us onto working on new material, so we’re becoming immersed in that as we speak.”

Hello, With a new year ahead of us, we thought now would be a good moment to give you a bit of news about what the four of us have been up to recently and what we have planned. Since late last year we’ve been getting back into the swing of playing music together. We were initially a little rusty but also nostalgic playing songs that have been around since we were teenagers. More than anything it just felt great to be in the same room playing again. It made us realise what a good thing we have and has given us renewed energy and enthusiasm for the future. The joy we were getting out of playing the old songs seemed to naturally lead us onto working on new material, so we’re becoming immersed in that as we speak. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we have something new for you guys to hear. We’re also planning some shows for later this year and beyond. We’ll have news on that front over the coming months. Can’t wait to see you all. We’ve missed you. Jack, Ed, Jamie, Suren x
