Bombay Bicycle Club - Fantasneeze

Photo: Tom Oxley

Not content with releasing a critically acclaimed new album les than 3 months ago, Bombay Bicycle Club have today shared the incredible offering of a brand spanking new EP entitled Fantasies, which will be released 23rd February via Mmm… Records / AWAL. The collaborative EP is set to feature guest appearances by Lucy Rose, Rae Morris, Liz Lawrence and Matilda Mann. The lead single is led by new friend and collaborator, Matilda, and features some nifty harmonised vocals and upbeat guitar melodies. The band says: "When we decided to hold ‘Fantasneeze’ back for its own release after the album, we kept working and finished off three other songs in short order. We think of this as a Bombay & Friends release because each song has a good friend of the band singing on it (Lucy Rose, Rae Morris, Liz Lawrence, Matilda Mann). Some are old friends with long-term, close associations to the band (Lucy Rose for instance) while Matilda Mann is a newer collaborator (having contacted Jack to do some co-writing initially a couple years ago). It’s also very much a continuation of My Big Day as it was recorded around the same time and mixed by Dave Fridmann". Take a listen for yourselves below.
