New Release from Bastille "Wild World"

Bastille’s sophomore album, Wild World (released today), follows the four million-selling, multi-platinum debut Bad Blood. It maintains Bastille's DNA of vivid, cinematic songwriting at its core, but strives to progress and push their sound forward. It's an ambitious album, both musically and lyrically, incorporating new influences and themes into the band's distinctive world.
 
“If our first album was about growing up and the anxieties surrounding it” Dan explains, “Our second is about trying to make sense of the world around you, both as you see it and as it’s presented to you through the media. It’s also about asking questions of the world and of the people in it. We wanted the album to be a bit disorientating - at times extroverted and introverted, light and dark.”
 
The band have been previewing the record at many festivals all over the world this summer, including Glastonbury, V Festival, Lollapalooza, Sziget, T in The Park and more, with shows still to come at Bestival and Festival No. 6. Later this year, they will embark on their biggest headline tour to date playing 12 UK Arenas, the run of shows is currently the most successfully selling tour by any British act this year. It includes two dates at London's O2 Arena after tickets for the first show sold out within hours.
