Bombay Bicycle Club's frontman Jack Steadman feels that travelling has inspired him to write for the upcoming fourth album 'So Long, See You Tomorrow'.

The English indie rock band's Steadman, who named the band after a chain of Indian restaurants in Britain, said his trips around Europe and Asia has inspired him to write for the album, reported Contactmusic.

"I like travelling alone, but I stayed with families so they'd invite me for dinner. Dad of one family was a real hi-fi enthusiast with hundreds of speakers and played me all sorts of records," he said.

"I was inspired by the '70s prog, like Traffic, he played. Listening to it made me want to make everything sound perfect when I got to the studio," he added.
 

Steadman also said he began writing the lead track 'So Long, See You Tomorrow' from the upcoming album while he was in Sapanca, near Istanbul.

"I'd get up and have breakfast in a cafe that was built into the mountain with a view over the valley. It was beautiful, so the songs starts like that, very peaceful," he said.
