Three years since Wild World, Bastille is teaming up with Amazon Music to release bonus content of their new album Doom Days.
Coming out on June 14, the four-member British band is scheduled to release their album via Virgin EMI Records—the company that released their previous two studio albums Bad Blood (2013) and Wild World (2016).
Amazon Music customers will be granted access to the special edition—titled Doom Nights— with scene-setting soundbites preceding every track. The multinational tech company announced that they will be releasing nine exclusive clips over the next week via Alexa, their virtual assistant. Users will have to ask, “Alexa, play Doom Nights by Bastille on Amazon Music”, to listen to the exclusive clips on enabled devices.

The band, formed in 2010, has been working on the album for the better part of two years, while also collaborating with artists like Craig David, Marshmello and EDM duo Seeb (known for producing the song 'I Took A Pill in Ibiza') to release songs “I Know You” in 2017, “Happier” and “Grip” in 2018 respectively. They also collaborated with a host of artists and producers for their mixtape Other People’s Heartache, Pt. IV which came out in December 2018.
The news of the 2019 album caused a frenzy among devoted fans who have been waiting for new music since the indie pop band’s last release. Preceded by the release of four singles— 'Quarter Past Midnight', 'Doom Days', 'Joy' and 'Those Nights', the tracks together have already garnered almost a hundred million plays on Spotify.
“I think we’ve managed to stir enough people, and in the right way, to get them excited about the album,” band-member Kyle Simmons, who plays the keyboard, percussion and occasionally helps with the backing vocals, told the Source magazine. “We are so excited to have the album out as well. It’s something that we’ve been working on for so long now and we’ve been itching to get it out.”
The Pompeii stars who dubbed Doom Days an “apocalyptic party record” will kick off the European leg of their tour in Germany and move on to North America in September of this year.
