Bye Bye Bicycle have made all the rounds on the indie pop blogs including posts by myself, indie mp3 and skatterbrain. But it’s been awhile since we last heard from them and they’re back for the summer of `08 with a retooled, even dreamier, sound. The band’s upcoming debut lp is called compass and it will feature this single.
“Eastside” is a bookend and a response to their song “Westside” from their first EP, I can only assume it refers to sections of their Gothenburg hometown. It’s these micro-geographical namedroppings that are so endearing to both locals and fans abroad as well. This song will leave preteen girls and 40-something fans of The Smiths and The Cure swooning.
