Morning Music Notes – Rap Genius to Decipher My Blog Posts

More new, good stuff from London’s Bombay Bicycle Club. We’ve already heard Carry Me and It’s Alright Now from upcoming album, So Long, See You Tomorrow. Now get a taste of Luna.

The eclectic band have their usual complex sounds, although the looping beat isn’t at the forefront of the song. Instead, the lead sound belongs to the vocals, which features Rae Morris on vocal duty, too. Bonus: the track was directed by BAFTA winning director, Anna Ginsburg. How can you not be tempted to click play below?!
