Doom Days by Bastille
Doom Days is an album by Bastille, released in 2019. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Quarter Past Midnight”, on 8 lists with a best position of #11.
Doom Days, Bastille's third studio album, came out on Virgin on 14 June 2019, the follow-up to Wild World. Dan Smith, who started the band as a solo project, co-produced it with Mark Crew, and the sound is sleek, pulsing indie pop, with Kyle Simmons' keyboards, Will Farquarson's bass and guitar and Chris "Woody" Wood's drums wrapped tight around Smith's earnest, soaring voice. It glides and glitters, but there's a shadow under every hook.
Four singles led the way in: "Quarter Past Midnight", the title track, "Joy" and "Those Nights", which premiered on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe. The band spent that summer carrying the songs round UK and European festivals, and in December an extended edition added 11 more tracks. Give Me the Future came next.
