Love Boredom Bicycles

A fun and shambolic celebration of the chaos of youth, Love Boredom Bicycles marks the start of an exciting new era for the Melbourne-via-Wellington four-piece.

On their debut album, Love Boredom Bicycles, everything sounds effortless for lead singer Ciarann Babbington and his bandmates: twin brothers, guitarist Alex and bassist Ian Spagnolo, and drummer Jamie Gordon. Produced by Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) the record bursts with youthful energy swagger and a bucket load of hooks paired with the band’s irresistibly charming sense of humour; rarely does an album sound as though the people making it are having this much fun.

Love Boredom Bicycles is an album with good times coursing through its veins. “The whole record is supposed to sound like the life of the party,” explains Ciarann. “’Concertina’ is the kick arse opener where you walk through the doors and everyone’s vibing and having a great time. And then it takes you through the journey of this party and then you’re left at like 5 o’clock in the morning, with like 2 or 3 people around, you’re gonna have a beer and go to bed. And you’re just reflecting, like, ‘That was a sick party, yeah.’”
