Bombay Bicycle Club have another new track, 'I Can Hardly Speak'

Bombay Bicycle Club are ringing in the new year by sharing another cut from their forthcoming fifth album, 'Everything Else Has Gone Wrong'.

Titled 'I Can Hardly Speak', it's the fourth taster of the quartet's comeback record, which is set to arrive on 17th January.

"'I Can Hardly Speak' was one of the first songs to be written for the album," the band explain via Instagram. "In fact, it was written while we were still touring 'So Long, See You Tomorrow' in 2014, although we only rediscovered the demo this year when the album was nearly finished."

"The song is self-explanatory, it’s a song about struggling to express yourself with words and being an introvert."

So there we go.

Bombay Bicycle Club are set to head out on a run of in-store (and 'out-store') performances to promote 'Everything Else Has Gone Wrong' later this month, before pivoting to a pretty damn huge headline tour. That includes a pair of dates at London's Alexandra Palace. Support on that run comes from The Big Moon and Liz Lawrence, apart from the 8th February, when Sundara Karma will replace the former. Got that? Good.
