Bastille is an English group active since 2010 and made up of Dan Smith, Kyle Simmons, Will Farquarson, and Chris Wood. They started out independent, releasing some singles in 2010 and an EP in 2011. They also started putting stuff up online, earning them a bigger audience and eventually a record contract. Their first single with that label came out in 2012, followed by their debut album in 2013 which jumped their popularity up by a crazy level, hitting number one in the UK Albums Chart. I'm sure you'd be able to recognize some of the songs on that album, which were released as singles as well and became very popular, being played constantly on the radio. They released an EP in 2013 as well, then won a BRIT Award in 2014 for Breakthrough Act and were nominated for a Grammy in 2015. Their second album was released in 2016, which won them an NME Award in 2017. They released some singles in 2018 leading up to their third album release in 2019. They released another EP in 2020, followed by singles through 2021 leading to the release of their fourth and most recent album in 2022. I skipped a lot of stuff of them touring and playing at festivals throughout their career. They also participated in a couple different charity recordings to raise money for things like the Grenfell Tower fire victims and the pandemic so they have been up to other things. This song is from their most recent album, so it's a good marker to put up against their older stuff to see if the sound has changed over the years. Hope you enjoy it.
Peace.
