Description
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.
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’s worth of new songs, collaborations, covers and reprises.
“In 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,” Dan says. “You 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 – both thematically and musically. Or you can choose full-on dancefloor heartbreak escape.”
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’s acclaimed “Other People’s Heartache” Mixtape series opening the four-piece up to collaborations, covers and concept-free creativity.
