Pompeii

Wild World is the second studio album by British indie pop band Bastille, released on 9 September 2016. Wild World the follow-up to Bastille's debut album, Bad Blood, which has sold more than four million albums worldwide alongside 11 million singles. The new album retains the vivid, filmic songwriting of its predecessor, but pushes the GRAMMY®-nominated U.K. band s unique sound in new directions. Lyrically, too, it s a leap forward. At the heart of Wild World is a fascination with the human condition and the relationships we all forge, fight over and sometimes forget. It's a collection of 19 songs on the deluxe edition that sees Bastille at their boldest and most daring.

When neighbors burned a cross in his yard when he was six, Benjamin Booker says he shut the world out and began to live in his head. After a debut influenced by Jack White's buzzing, guitar-forward ethos, Booker—who has spent time in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Perth, Australia—has turned his inner wonders and convictions into his most varied full-length album yet. As he sings on "POMPEII STATUES," he was guided by "Going deeper into madness/ Going deeper into darkness/ Going deeper into new doubt." Given Booker's whispered vocals, the vibe is chill despite lyrics that churn and twist with worry and confusion.
