In case you didn’t catch it from the subject, Good Shoes are baaaaaaaaaaack! The band have been away writing and recording their second album, but they’ve finally emerged with a taste of what’s to come via a free download of “The Way My Heart Beats”.

FREE DOWNLOAD “The Way My Heart Beats” from their official website or get it here

It’s reassuring that they still sound like the same band I fell in love with almost three years ago, but they’ve kicked it up a notch. Some things have changed, however, and that’s the lineup. Earlier this year, bassist Joel Cox left and was replaced by Bob Matthews (hence that unfamiliar face in the fourth polaroid above!). Perhaps it’s his voice I hear accompanying Rhys on “The Way My Heart Beats”? (Also, when the song begins, is anyone else reminded of “Don’t Look Back Into the Sun” just a teeny tiny bit? Am I crazy?)

Download their new song, listen to it on repeat, and go out and show your support on any of the 298739802 shows they’ll be playing around the UK this winter:
