Bastille return with new single "survivin'"
Bastille have returned with "survivin'", their second single of 2020.
"survivin'" arrives after July's Graham Coxon collaboration "WHAT YOU GONNA DO???", and was originally intended to be a song about the highs and lows of Bastille’s seven years as a band, but then COVID-19 happened.
Lead vocalist Dan Smith explains, "There’d been times when I felt like I’d been in a washing machine and on a conveyor belt at the same time, but when people asked me how I was doing, the answer was always the British cliché: 'Yep, all good, fine'."
He adds, "At the start of lockdown I felt very self-conscious about having written a song that felt relevant when it wasn’t intended to be, but then I also think 2020 is the year we all stopped pretending everything’s fine."
