Earlier this year Bastille released their hotly anticipated No.1 album, ‘Give Me The Future’, a record that explores a futuristic wonderland free from restrictions. The album embraces a new wave of technology, which enables us to get lost inside our imagination and travel back and forward in time to be anyone or do anything.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now, the band are adding a further instalment to this critically acclaimed release, sharing a three-part extended edition of the album, dubbed, ‘Give Me The Future + Dreams Of The Past’, featuring another album\u2019s worth of new songs, collaborations, covers and reprises, set for release on August 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn releasing this version of the record, we wanted to give the complete picture of what we intended with this album and also explore the idea that you can choose your own adventure,\u201d Dan says. \u201cYou can dive into the ideas of the future and an electronic world, or you can fall back into the past – away from technology and into ideas of memory and nostalgia \u2013 both thematically and musically. Or you can choose full-on dancefloor heartbreak escape.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With the original album on part one, part two continues some of the themes and narrative from the original record, delving into songs that are shot through with notions of technological dependence, human connection and the limitless possibilities of life online. Part three, meanwhile, acts as a mini return to the band\u2019s acclaimed, ‘Other People\u2019s Heartache’ Mixtape series, opening the four-piece up to collaborations, covers and concept-free creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new songs make ever clearer the link between the future and past, highlighting the ability to choose to go backwards as well as forwards like in more nostalgic cuts such as the Graceland-inspired, ‘Family Ties’. Written about Smith\u2019s memories of visiting his late aunt in South Africa, the warm, wistfulness of the track provides a counterpart to time travel\u2019s usually futuristic sheen \u2013 as per new single, the rave-ready electronic club banger, ‘Revolution’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Revolution’ had always been one of the core songs for ‘Give Me The Future’, and took inspiration from Quincy Jones\u2019 production, and The Weeknd\u2019s, ‘Can\u2019t Feel My Face’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe chorus is about the intimacy of human connection in the context of some science fiction, space-centred imagery. But it\u2019s also about the idea of those amazingly thoughtful people who spend their lives trying to change the world in a positive way,\u201d explains Dan. \u201cI\u2019m totally over-awed by people like that \u2013 if you\u2019re one of them, like an inventor, activist or scientist, you have to have the ability to imagine a version of the future that\u2019s better than what currently exists, and then have that energy to actually work to make it happen. Alongside all the other things life throws at you. So, I wanted to nod to those people and the idea that before anything big happens, most of them will have had these little revolutions in their minds, a change of perspective that leads to something bigger.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stream and download, ‘Revolution’, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ‘Other People\u2019s Heartache’ section of the album \u2013 Bastille bring that energy to life via collaborations; The glacial groove of ‘Run Into Trouble’, with Alok, the garage stutter of ‘Eight Hours’, with Tyde, a cover of the Bruce Springsteen classic, ‘Dancing In The Dark’, and boundary-less new songs including the irresistible, ‘Remind Me’, and the melancholic power ballad, ‘Running Away’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last song on the record is the beautifully ethereal, ‘Hope For The Future’, a song which hints at where the band could sonically go next. Written for the soundtrack of the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced documentary, ‘From Devil\u2019s Breath’, a short film about forest fires, climate change and tree planting. It centres around an acoustic guitar melody and Smith\u2019s layered vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was thinking about Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver and all the acoustic artists who manage to write music that is both orchestral and floaty, but also a grounded in some grit,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was very much at odds with all of the synthesisers, drum machines and electronic instruments and the production that we were using for ‘Give Me The Future’, but I feel super proud of it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Their fourth album, the masterful, ‘Give Me The Future’, was hailed by many critics as their best release to date, with The Fader describing it as \u201ca grand collection of sci-fi inspired songs attempting to make sense of the world\u2019s fast-moving venture into dystopia\u201d. NME said: \u201cThe result is the most expansive, yet cohesive record Bastille have put their name to,\u201d adding that the band may have \u201ccreated a perfect soundtrack to life after lockdown\u201d. The Independent, meanwhile, declared: \u201cWhen confined within Bastille\u2019s catchy hooks and imaginative, era-spanning production, what lies ahead suddenly isn\u2019t so terrible. The future is bright \u2013 for 30 minutes\u2019 worth of bops, at least.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the release of the record, Bastille have created an immersive experience at their sold out gigs, bringing the themes of the album to life in arenas across the UK and on a tour of North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this year\u2019s Glastonbury Festival, such was the demand to witness their secret set the festival organisers had to cordon off the surrounding area at the 1,000-capacity William\u2019s Green tent as festivalgoers tried to descend in the masses to catch a glimpse of their secret performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such fervent scenes will continue across the summer as the band play huge sets at festivals across the UK and Europe, including Boardmasters, Sziget and two mammoth sub-headliner spots at Reading & Leeds 2022. Following that, they\u2019ll take the \u201cGive Me The Future\u201d tour to South America, stopping in Argentina and Brazil, before continuing the enthralling trek across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
