Catch-Up Jam: Of all of the comeback singles released in January, this was my second favourite. I adore the build to and release of the chorus. The harmonies, especially, are gorgeous.
#Top31Tracksof2014: And so, once again, my Album of the Year fails to also contain my Song of the Year, although it was unbelievably close, this time. Bombay Bicycle Club have always been one of those bands that I wanted to like more than I actually did, their singles being fantastic but their albums sort of just existing. "So Long, See You Tomorrow" changed that, delivering 10 straight smashes, exploring all possible facets of their alt-pop sound, and each track filled with mammoth stadium-wide hooks and choruses - even the ones that were more focussed on emotions and mood than choruses (the gorgeous "Home By Now"). But it was "Luna", it was always "Luna", that was going to end up on my list. I mean... listen to it! Just listen to the thing! It's pretty much perfect and, despite having come out last January, I still have not gotten sick of it! #bestof2014 4
