Bombay Bicycle Club have today announced details of their sixth studio album, My Big Day, which will include guest vocals from Damon Albarn, Nilüfer Yanya and Holly Humberstone.
Announcing the news, the long-standing British indie-rockers have shared the forthcoming album’s laid-back title track.
Have a listen to new single ‘My Big Day’ via the video below, which is set in a newsroom and directed by Everything Everything’s Jon Higgs and Foals percussionist Kit Monteith.
The new album will mark the band’s follow-up to 2020’s Everything Else Has Gone Wrong, and was produced by vocalist and guitarist Jack Steadman (aka Mr. Jukes), with mixing duties coming from The Flaming Lips, MGMT and HAIM collaborator Dave Fridmann.
