Bombay Bicycle Club have shared the third single off their forthcoming album, My Big Day. “I Want To Be Your Only Pet.” Jack Steadman: “I was just playing around with guitar sounds at soundcheck, and started playing this riff. Jamie must have heard something in it because he got out his phone and started recording. For the next few months he would constantly text me to ask “have you written a song around that riff yet?” So finally I did to stop him harassing me. “To me it sounds like if Abbey Road era Beatles had a love child with Rated R era Queens of the Stone Age.”

Bombay Bicycle Club’s sixth album, My Big Day, is released on October 20, 2023 via Arts & Crafts. It was produced by Jack Steadman at The Church Studios in North London and then back at the band’s own studio. Alongside Holly Humberstone, Damon Albarn, Jay Som, and Nilüfer Yanya all lend their voices across the course of the record, with a fifth special guest releasing a song with the band later this summer.

Jack sits on both sides of the glass for the duration of the record, having previously produced their fourth album So Long, See You Tomorrow, and co-production with John Congleton for 2020’s Everything Else Has Gone Wrong. Additional production comes from Paul Epworth on the track “Heaven” and Ben Allen who co-produces “Turn The World On” – the band previously worked with Allen on their hit single “Shuffle” back in 2011. The record was mixed by Dave Fridmann (renowned for his work with The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT, HAIM).
