about

"How Could You? (or: Was It Good For You, Too?)" is the second recorded album by The Bicycats. It was recorded and mixed in Rochester, New York over six months -- the snowy ones. "How Could You?" shares certain qualities with the previous Bicycats album, "I Love You For Your Mind": fun, clever songs with charming arrangements and vivacious, loping rhythms. Only there are some major differences. For one, it's longer -- about fifteen whole minutes longer. Also, this album has twelve songs instead of eleven. That's right. And did the first album have tuba, trombone, mandolin, or any trained jazz musicians sprinkled about its tracks? No, it did not. This one did. Enjoy.
