Laura Palmer EP by Bastille
Laura Palmer EP is an EP by Bastille, released in 2011. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Things We Lost in the Fire”, on 2 lists with a best position of #20.
The Laura Palmer EP was Bastille's first, self-released in November 2011 on CD and as a download, a few months after the debut single "Flaws" / "Icarus". What began as Dan Smith's solo project had grown into a band by then, with Kyle Simmons on keyboards, Will Farquarson on bass and guitar and Chris "Woody" Wood on drums, and these early songs show the blueprint already in place: Smith's big, earnest voice riding moody synths and pounding, tribal drums, pop built in the shadows.
All four songs turned up again on the debut album Bad Blood after Virgin Records signed the band, so this is the sketchbook for the record that followed, "Laura Palmer" and "Things We Lost in the Fire" among them.
