Bicep - Isles

Bicep - Isles
Ninja Tunes Records

Much anticipated second album from the one time Belfast duo that sees them carry on where they left off on 2017s self titled debut, i.e. producing more flawless emotive electronic tuneage.

While again paying homage to the cooler dancefloors & festivals of the 90's, the album is very much forward facing, another fresh sounding album that moves the UK electronic scene forward again in 2021. RIYL Four Tet, Caribou, Daniel Avery & Jamie xx

Two years in the making, “Isles” expands on the artful energy of their
2018 debut “Bicep”. It’s a record that encapsulates their 15 year career
and the distillation of their passion for music and club culture while
digging deeper into the sounds, emotions and experiences they had
growing up in Belfast and living the past 10 years in London. “Bicep” is
lauded as one of the best-realised dance music albums in recent
years, awarded ‘Album of the Year’ by Mixmag, and ‘Glue’ named
‘Track of the Year’ by DJ Mag. The album entered the top 20 in the
UK album charts, sold 100,000 copies worldwide, toured 26 live
across countries and has accumulated over 110M streams.
Having a strong sense of community and benefited from mentorship in
their early career, Bicep are proud ambassadors for Youth Music, a
charity that aims to change the lives of disadvantaged young people
through music and mentorship.
In March 2020, Bicep returned with new single ‘Atlas’ which appears
on “Isles”. With synth lines that ebb and flow across broken percussion
and ethereal vocal snatches, it was debuted by Annie Mac as her
‘Hottest Record’ on BBC Radio 1, ‘Atlas’ was Nick Grimshaw’s

‘Tune of the Week’ & went on to the R1 C-list as well as 6 Music A-
list. The single reached #3 in the UK vinyl singles chart and #1 in

the Cool Cuts Chart by Music Week. With live gigs being put on hold
for 2020, Bicep wanted to take a trailblazing approach with a pay per
stream, something no one had cracked within electronic music. The
live stream performance featured ‘Atlas' and 3 new tracks including
lead single ‘Apricots’ from the new album, reaching over 70
countries across 5 different time zones and garnered more fan
engagement on their social platforms than ever before, igniting huge
excitement for new music.
