Flaws

Flaws is the second studio album by British alternative rock band Bombay Bicycle Club, released on 9 July 2010 by Island Records. Contrary to the band's previous releases, the album is entirely acoustic music, consisting of versions of their own tracks as well as cover versions of other artists. The album was produced in part by guitarist Jamie MacColl's father Neil MacColl, with recording taking place in February 2009 at The Church in Crouch End, London. The band started work on the album after completing their debut, I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose. Initial talks of an acoustic release began in February 2009, with the band confirming through MySpace that they were recording an acoustic EP in the Lake District, while continuing to promote their debut album. Following the completion of their debut during the same month, the band regrouped at The Church, a recording studio in Crouch End, London. The album was produced in part by Neil MacColl, guitarist MacColl's father. The rest of the album's production was completed by vocalist Jack Steadman, in Steadman's bedroom.
