The rattling percussion of It’s Alright Now sends the album hurtling towards euphoria, hitting the dance floor with the off-kilter chords and bleeps of Carry Me

Like the 16th century British Empire they are destined for greater global takeover while turning more heads than a penny-farthing, there is just a better chance that you will take this one out for a ride more often

So Long, See You Tomorrow is an often dazzling, euphoric electronic-pop record where Bombay Bicycle Club have decided they don’t want to be seen as a rock band anyway

Bombay Bicycle Club continue to be contradictory — they are chart-toppers who rarely make a good photo. They are young, but their music is so oppressively mature you feel it wants to sit you down and give you mortgage advice

If So Long is an indication of anything, it’s that Bombay Bicycle Club still haven’t found their sound. And this is one of those rare times where that isn’t necessarily a bad thing

It feels like we really will see the group, if not tomorrow exactly, then surely very soon, in the form of whatever this record is clearly ramping up to. Ending the album as they did leaves implication for a more fully realized and decisive follow-up
