Between 2009 and 2011, the London group released three albumsone as an affable post-punk-pop Arctic Vampires hybrid, another as a quiet is the new loud retread and, on the surprisingly vigorous, Ben H.

Allen-helmed A Different Kind of Fix, a third that was sleek and streamlined Urban Outfitters mixtape filler.

It secured them a sizable fanbase and not much respect as a rock band: its hard to get taken seriously when your first big break involves winning a Battle of the Bands, and even as their music improved significantly, this was often credited to their producers.

But that all happened in the span of two years, about six months less than it took just to make their fourth LP.

Another radical change and a wonder of cosmetic surgery, So Long, See You Tomorrow is an often dazzling, euphoric electronic-pop record where Bombay Bicycle Club have decided they dont want to be seen as a rock band anyway.

Compared to damn near every band trying to do the same thing, Bombay Bicycle Club are exceedingly well-prepared, having started as a hooky, if indistinct pop band and learning about crowd-pleasing electronic production by playing actual festivals.

The pummeling drum track of Overdone wouldve been ear-turning enough, but the title becomes a wink as the band piles on battling countermelodies, percussive synths, staggered drops and octave-shifted guitars.

Meanwhile, Carry Me boasts the closest thing to a guitar riff, but it sounds more like a trombone over an impossibly jerky, inhuman rhythm, imagining Hidden -era These New Puritans as flower children rather than warmongers.

The crucial thing here is that Steadman wants to show you what hes learned from pop radio, not merely how much he likes Aaliyah.

The marching band percussion lent to Its Alright Now shows a band thats smart about their pilfering from pop and RBthey probably love Destinys Childs Lose My Breath and decided to take the parts that could best compliment their burst-and-bloom, gushing hooks, while Home By Now teases with a bit of radio killa production before shifting towards a gorgeous, crushed-out heavenly duet between Steadman and Lucy Rose.

Almost everything at least has its charms, though the cacophony of layered drums that eventually brings Eyes Off You and the title track to a climax feel like knowing apologies for the pretty, if a bit limpid piano balladry that precedes it.

So Long s dizzying array of percussion and instrumentation was meant to be a sonic passport of sorts, as Steadman spent the past couple of years globetrotting around Asia and Africa, but Feel is the one time where things get a little too Eat, Pray, Love.

Whatever the songs on So Long are actually about is up for debate despite their plainspokenness, but suffice to say, they trigger the exact joy buzzers that leave you usually infatuated, perhaps a bit hopefully lovelorn.
