Bastille on their second album: 'We don't want to reinvent ourselves'

Bastille have teased that their next album might surprise fans as it sounds different to their popular debut offering, 'Bad Blood'. 

The band's frontman Dan Smith confessed that while they're not looking to overhaul their trademark sound and style, they are also cautious not to overdo it:

"We don't want to kill what we have done already, we are not looking to reinvent the Bastille sound, but we don't want to repeat ourselves."

He continued: "If we don't do exactly what we did last time, we might be seen as a bit of a failure, but there is no point caring about that because there is nothing we can do about it."

Speaking about their highly anticipated second studio album, the 'Pompeii' hitmakers added

"We don't have any guitars on the first record, we very much do on the next one. We just wanted to wear our influences a lot more obviously. So if we were gesturing towards a hip hop beat then we sampled a hip hop beat, whereas on the first album we might have hid that a bit more."
