Wild World by Bastille
Wild World is an album by Bastille, released in 2016. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 16 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Good Grief”, on 13 lists with a best position of #6.
Wild World, Bastille's second studio album, came out on Virgin on 9 September 2016, three and a half years after Bad Blood and "Pompeii" had turned what began as Dan Smith's solo project into a full band with a number-one album behind it. Smith co-produced it with Mark Crew, and with Kyle Simmons on keys, Will Farquarson on bass and guitar and Chris "Woody" Wood on drums, the sound is bigger and busier than before: pop rock with a restless, crowded feel, beats and hooks elbowing each other for space.
"Good Grief" and "Blame" are the calling cards, bright and jittery and built for singing along. In the Bastille story it sits between All This Bad Blood and Doom Days, which followed in June 2019.
