Bastille: 'Hopefully our album will be quite disorientating'

Bastille are gearing up to unveil their new album 'Wild World' and have opened up about the record during a new interview. 

They sat down for an interview with The Independent before taking the stage at Glastonbury Festival and explained that their new record will hopefully take listeners on something of a musical journey with its eclectic mix of styles and sounds. Frontman Dan said:

"I look to an album like [Kanye West’s] 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' and Kanye’s ability to just go off on a random tangent. Hopefully our album will be quite disorientating, going from epic production to the track where it is just me and Will doing a guitar song in one take. It’s very much something we’ve taken from that genre which we love."

"For people who listened to out first record and actually engaged with it, the diversity is there. Just because it happened to have good songs that did well on the radio, people just heard those and thought that’s what we do, and that’s just how it works."

Bass player Will added: "We’ve always been more about, not so much having a distinctive sound, but Dan’s songwriting and the way he sings. It still sounds Bastille. On the last album, it might not have seemed that way, but we tried to make that as diverse as possible. We didn’t go into that thinking this is the Bastille sound."

The band, meanwhile, have now confirmed that their highly anticipated new album will be officially released on September 9 and you can read more about this by clicking here
