Flaws (released, 12th July) is the stunningly beautiful, new acoustic album by Bombay Bicycle Club.

Having finished recording their debut LP I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose in February 2009, the band went straight back into the studio days after they submitted the master for I Had The Blues, and started the initial recordings for this album.

Flaws is characterised by a delicate, heart-swelling beauty and lightness of touch throughout. Those that had BBC pegged merely as an indie band may need to re-think. In fact, this more stripped down, acoustic sound – though markedly different from the majority of their debut – isn’t new for the band, as almost every single they’ve released since their earliest days has been accompanied by an acoustic b-side.

We’ve had a chance to listen to first single Ivy & Gold and it is an absolute cracker. A stunning song that is likely to win them a whole new raft of fans. We’re really looking forward to giving the whole album a proper spin.

To mark the release of the album the band are unveiling a succession of exclusive live-performance videos of each track from the album.

The first track is the album’s beautiful title track Flaw. It’s a lovely outside acoustic performance from singer Jack Steadman with backing vocals from Lucy Rose. Watch, and whet your appetite for the album…
