As Bombay Bicycle Club prepare for the kick-off of their first U.S. headlining tour, much of which has sold-out or moved to larger venues due to popular demand, the North London four-piece have announced the release of their "Leave It EP" exclusively through iTunes on February 14th. The release, which features a remix as well as acoustic tracks and "Lights Out, Words Gone (Rub a Dub)" recorded by the band in vocalist Jack Steadman's bedroom, will coincide with a special $6.99 reduced price for their latest full length album, A Different Kind of Fix, released earlier this month on A&M/Octone Records.

The announcement comes on the heels of an exciting week for Bombay Bicycle Club, including nominations for three NME Awards - for Best British Band, Best Album Artwork and Best Track ("Shuffle"). The band has also unveiled a gorgeous new stop animation video for "How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep," created over six months by artist and friend Anna Ginsburg.

After an incredible year in the UK that saw the band appearing on a multitude of year-end lists including Zane Lowe's top album of the year and #16 on the NME year-end list, Bombay Bicycle Club will launch their first U.S. headlining tour on February 14th. After the U.S. tour, the band will head to Australia for a tour with Elbow before returning to the UK for a completely sold-out tour, culminating in a gig at the 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace.
