British guitar band Bombay Bicycle Club have shared a music video for their new song “Diving” featuring Holly Humberstone which is the latest release from their upcoming sixth studio album My Big Day. This LP is due out October 20 via AWAL. The band will also be embarking on a summer and fall tour. Check out the video for “Diving” below, followed by the upcoming LP’s tracklist and cover artwork as well as tour dates.

Of “Diving,” vocalist Jack Steadman says in a press release: “‘Diving’ is a song about that summer you have when you’re 15, the memory of which conjures up such a unique feeling. You’re discovering everything for the first time and the world seems as scary and exhilarating as diving off a tall cliff into a lake. Holly is the perfect fit for this song. Her music perfectly captures those feelings of early life, and her voice gives the whole song so much emotion.” Both artists decided to pair up when Humberstone asked Steadman to do some writing for her own music.

My Big Day was produced by Steadman and features vocals from Humberstone, Damon Albarn, Jay Som, and Nilüfer Yanya. The record was mixed by Dave Fridman (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, MGMT, HAIM).

Bombay Bicycle Club previously shared the title track for My Big Day. Their last studio album was 2020’s Everything Else Has Gone Wrong.
