Album Rating: 3.5
Recording their 3rd LP in just over 2 years, English indie-rockers Bombay Bicycle Club continue to evolve on the aptly titled 'A Different Kind of Fix'. Boldly, all 3 LPs have been markedly different, as the quartet satisfyingly work into a groove here. Co-produced with heavy hitters Ben Allen & Jim Abbiss, this LP is much more layered & textured than previous releases, with repetition used to enhance atmosphere & cohesion. At 51 minutes, it's a touch overlong & never really reaches stupendous heights, but now that BBC have seemingly found their natural sound, their potential may be realized. Recommended Tracks: Shuffle, Leave It, How Can You Swallow... & Bad Timing.
