Bombay Bicycle Club - Lights Out Words Gone


If Shuffle saw Bombay Bicyle Club at their most effervescent and joyous, new single Lights Out Words Gone shows what they can do when the brief is a clear one of pure relaxation. After all, with their latest album titled A Different Kind Of Fix, the prospect of varied pleasures seems an obvious one.

The track really revels in a gorgeous trippy feel. Summer might be on its way out, but Lights Out Words Gone feels like exactly the kind of song you want on when you're chilling by the pool with a cocktail in hand. Tapping in to the same kind of tropical, breezy vibe Friendly Fires constructed their Pala album around, the song oozes late-night chill out sensuality.

With the trademark bounce of Bombay Bicyle Club's guitars given something a new wave sheen here, the song positively glistens. Three albums in and the band are properly hitting their stride.

Lights Out Words Gone is released on the 17th October.
