Anyway, a while back I purchased Bastille's "Bad Blood" album. I didn't even really listen to the entire thing until my returning flight from D.C. It was a perfect album to drift away to.
Bastille is an English rock band hailing from London which formed in 2010. Initially, the band was a solo project created by front man Dan Smith. The band's name is derived from Bastille Day (France's national holiday) which falls on the same day as Smith's birthday. Maybe my French heritage is what pulls me toward the band... hmmm. "Bad Blood" dropped in March 2013 and is the band's debut album. Must have just taken a while to reach the US.They incorporate a number of instruments and sounds (such as synthesizers) as well as vocals into their music, definitely something fresh and new for the listening ears.
Anyway, the song I chose is "Laughter Lines." To be honest, it was hard to choose, as all the songs on the album are absolutely fantastic. Check out "Bad Blood" and "Flaws" as well. And this specific track isn't even a single yet, Man, I'm ahead of the times!!
Hopefully the video works, and plays the song I want. Can't listen to music while I'm pretending to pay attention....
I'm also trying to figure out how to make a music player for my blog, so this whole Music Monday posts will be easier, and NOT youtube videos. So stay tuned.
Wish I had more time to write all I want, but the creative juices are lacking as is my attention span in class.
xoxo.
