Bombay Bicycle Club have announced they will release 'Rinse Me Down' as the second single from their new acoustic album 'Flaws' on September 20th.
Bombay Bicycle Club’s critically acclaimed acoustic album 'Flaws' was released on July 12th and went straight into the album charts at number eight.
Following on from the album’s first single, double A-sided single 'Ivy and Gold'/'Flaws', 'Rinse Me Down' is the album’s opening song and sets the tone for the entire record, as Jack Steadman’s distinctive vocal dances above sinuous guitar lines and Suren De Saram’s propulsive drum fills.
'Flaws' is characterised by a delicate, heart-swelling beauty and lightness of touch throughout. Jack describes his Dad playing him Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music for the first time as a “huge moment”. Similarly, delving into his Dad’s record collection introduced him to the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, John Martyn and Nick Drake.
Having been crowned “Best New Band” at the NME awards in February, 'Flaws', released almost exactly a year after their debut album bookends an incredible year for Bombay Bicycle Club who have grown into one of the most popular and exciting new bands to emerge from the UK.
The video for 'Rinse Me Down' can be seen below.
