But it’s also about the idea of those amazingly thoughtful people who spend their lives trying to change the world in a positive way,” explains Dan. “The chorus is about the intimacy of human connection in the context of some science fiction, space-centred imagery. “Revolution” had always been one of the core songs for “Give Me The Future” and took inspiration from Quincy Jones’ production and The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face”. Written about Smith’s memories of visiting his late aunt in South Africa, the warm, wistfulness of the track provides a counterpart to time travel’s usually futuristic sheen – as per new single, the rave-ready electronic club banger “Revolution”. 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”. 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. 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. Or you can choose full-on dancefloor heartbreak escape.” “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. “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. Now, Bastille 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. 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.
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.
