Lanquid, chorusy oooohs and delicately picked guitar lines - it's like those golden last days of summer all over again.
Just as Shuffle's charm stemmed from its clever mixing of a repetitive hook and a cracking beat - Bombay Bicycle Club, cleary knowing a good idea when they hear one, walk that same route again for How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep.
Rock music has a long history of pairing together the most uneasy bedfellows. Just look at the Stone Roses, triumphantly reformed this week - their rock/dance hybrid Fools Gold is now hailed as one of the defining moments of modern music, and it's sweet to imagine that Bombay's new single is in some way a distant relative of the innovation that spawned that track.
It's that age-old desire to let loose, to just... dance...
Beats and blisters, guitar strings and late nights - How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep, the epitome of an indie club night if ever there was one.
How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep is released on the 26th December.
