Bombay Bicycle Club deliver new single 'Is It Real'

With only a few days left before they release their eagerly-awaited new studio album, Bombay Bicycle Club have now dropped the final preview to be lifted from their upcoming full-length.

The new single 'Is It Real' follows on from the previously shared tracks 'I Can Hardly Speak', 'Eat, Sleep, Wake (Nothing But You)', 'Racing Stripes' and the record's title track, all of which will feature on their long-awaited new LP 'Everything Else Has Gone Wrong', which arrives this Friday 17th January via Caroline International/Island Records.

Describing their new offering, a statement from the band reads, "'Is It Real' is a song about taking a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the old times and cherished memories, and wondering when sat next to the responsibilities and struggles of adult life, how any of those fondly remembered days were real."

Have a listen to 'Is It Real' below.
