What an excellent surprise - Bastille has just unleashed a noise + guitar heavy new song: "What You Gonna Do" featuring Blur's Graham Coxon.
It's a bit of a different sound for the band - and I, for one, am here for it!
Dan Smith says about the new goodness: “This next phase feels like a new beginning. It’s about completely tearing up our process, being spontaneous and starting again."
“We’re just really excited by the new songs. I think we’re making some of the best music we’ve ever made. We want to put it out now and not wait for the whole album to be done before anyone starts to hear it. This is about where we are now and hearing us in real-time.”

LYRICS:
Johnny’s on the A-train
Takin’ it the wrong way
Shiny on the surface
Rotten on the inside
Shake, rattle and roll, you got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll, you got control, got my attention
You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
Make me paranoid, love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it?
Sally’s never outside
Got a screen to hide behind
She says she’s happy on the inside
And got a lot of friends online
Shake, rattle and roll, you got control, got my attention
Make me tap and scroll, you got control, got my attention
Listening... you got us listening, so what you gonna do with it?
You got us listening, so what you gonna do?
Now what you gonna do with it?
Make me paranoid, love me, hate me, fill the void
What you gonna do with it? So who am I? You decide Inside out you read my mind What you gonna do with it?
