LP version. BMX Bandits are back with their twelfth studio album, their most musically ambitious so far -- Dreamers On The Run. An album dedicated to all the outsiders out there. BMX Bandits were formed in the Scottish ex industrial town of Bellshill in 1985 by Duglas T Stewart and Sean Dickson. When Sean left to concentrate on his other band The Soup Dragons so began BMX Bandits, not as a conventional band of the same four or five faces but as an ever-growing extended musical family which has included members of The Vaselines, The Pastels, The Pearlfishers, and Teenage Fanclub over the years. In 2014 Duglas formulated the idea for a new BMX Bandits album that would be called Dreamers on the Run, about living in two worlds; the world of dreams and of music while trying to survive the real world. The album was mastered by Duglas' original partner in crime Sean Dickson, now known as Hifi Sean and features guest appearances by giants of the International Pop Underground Jowe Head and Calvin Johnson. Musically there are nods to Womack and Womack, classic Motown vocal groups and Todd Rundgren. It features a classic soul-tinged pop string arrangement and a killer guitar solo. For "The Things You Threw Away" Duglas worked with New York based musician and arranger Jay Jay Lozano who leads the group Adventures in Rhythm. Duglas knew Jay Jay was a fellow fan of classic American musicals of the past and old romantic songs from the 1930s by writers like Hoagy Carmichael, Ray Noble, and Frank Churchill.
