Bastilles mix of haunting harmonies, thumping drums and renaissance 80s vocals is enough to tempt even the most uptight person into tapping along. If you haven’t heard any of them, where have you been? Tracks such as Laura Palmer were huge in most countries and with good reason, once it’s in your head it’s there to stay. Let’s start off with reminding ourselves of the songs we already know from the original album. This adds up to 24 songs, value for money eh? The question is however, is it worth buying? To cater for this need the band have released All this Bad Blood, an album that not only features all the songs from their debut, but also two new tracks, rarities, covers, and an old mix tape of Dan’s. Lead singer Dan Smith’s strange vocal style and penchant for adding extra syllables to words (I counted 6 Syllables on the word ‘devices’ on Pompeii) has struck a chord with many an indie disco lover and has left people wanting more. They came from nowhere and rose to fame like a shot in the dark, with their inviting mix of synth, indie pop and 80s influences. Bastille have been something of a recent phenomenon.
