Bastille

For a limited time, you can pick up a copy of the new Bastille, signed by Dan and with a message from him to you!

Please put the message you'd like written on your album in the comments section at checkout. 

• There is a character limit on the length of the message you can request. The message will cut off when the limit is reached. It's not possible to extend messages beyond the character limit.
• Artists are not robots. They won't be writing anything they don't want to, so make the message you request sensible.
• PLEASE NOTE it may not be possible to amend your message after your order has been placed.
• If you don't want personalisation on your signed album, please state that in the comments box.
• Artists, and our staff, take a lot of time and care over personalised items, but we cannot make guarantees on spelling, legibility of handwriting, colour of pen, position of signature.

An ampersand intimately and magically joins things together. “&” (Ampersand) is also the name of an exhilarating new Bastille project from Dan Smith, a collection of story songs that intertwine the lives and wide worlds of startling women and men. Poets and artists, anthropologists and scientists, characters from religion and myth, outsiders and trailblazers, all come to life here, in sound worlds fed by new collaborations, dazzling arrangements and an infectious spirit of musical freedom.

“&” is a collection of songs about looking out at the world, disappearing into other lives rather than into ourselves, and about the humanity that can crackle and shimmer as a consequence.
