Rapid Eye Movement with Sufjan Stevens and Best Coast

A section for those who prefer the visual stimulation of motion pictures over the mental exhaustion that can occur from reading. Also known as, "I like to sit back and push play". Vivid imagery will follow. Dream at your own risk...

Get to Know: Bombay Bicycle Club

Bombay Bicycle Club is a group of four Brits that make infectious and melodic Indie rock. While they've been on the scene for a few years in England, they have yet to make a name for themselves in the US. On August 29th, the group releases its third studio album, A Different Kind of Fix, through Island Records. The fantastic first single, “Shuffle” has already leaked and it is making waves across the Internet. Below you can check out the original or three remixes, as well as the music video. If you could turn down the tempo of Two Door Cinema Club and add a few more members to Villagers, then you've got something like Bombay Bicycle Club. Their sound is well-refined and their lyrics are quite beautiful.
