Wild World

Bastille

A cinematic collision of cult film samples, tribal percussion, and stacked harmonies. Anxious, anthemic pop for a world that feels like it's spinning out of control.

September 9, 2016 · Virgin EMI Records

A high-stakes blend of existential dread and triumphant human connection set against a cinematic backdrop.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring 1980s film sample that kicks off 'Good Grief' before the explosive drum loop enters.
The haunting, stripped-back guitar work on 'Two Evils' that contrasts the album's usual maximalism.
The brass-heavy, high-energy climax of 'Send Them Off!' that feels like a modern soul-pop hybrid.
