Bastille: 'If we weren't always touring our second album would already be finished'

'Pompeii' hitmakers Bastille have revealed that the reason their sophomore album has been so delayed is because of their hectic live schedule.

Frontman Dan Smith told Gigwise that they always seem to be touring so studio time is quite tricky to fit in:

"If we weren't touring so much we'd probably have finished the album by now. I've never wanted our music to be one thing. I guess we make things when we feel like it."

Referring specifically to the musical direction the record is likely to take, Smith added that it will be eclectic because his influences and personal tastes are so varied: 

"There will be some songs that'll be quite guitar heavy and dark, and at the moment I've been listening to a hell of a lot of R&B, so there might be some songs leaning that way. But it's one of those things where what I think sounds like a dark rock song or an R&B track might to someone else just sound like a Bastille song."
