Head on over to their MySpace to stream 4 new songs, including new single "No Conversation" (out Oct 29th.)

"Promises" and "Paris" are actually the best of the lot though, sounding a bit like Idlewild/Jason Falkner respectively.

BKB's not-yet-titled 2nd album will be released in the UK on November 5th (no U.S. release date set.) The album was recorded here in LA with production by Dave Sardy (his best work: The Dandy Warhols' 13 Tales...)
