Bastille play a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from their forthcoming album β€˜Give Me The Future’.

β€˜Give Me The Future’ is out 4th February 2022 and takes us into a sci-fi wonderland free from restrictions – each song a different danceable dreamscape, a place where you can travel back and forward in time to be anyone, do anything and embrace a new wave of technology which enables us to get lost inside our imagination. The album is laced with references to the world of science fiction film and literature, video games and VR.

β€œWorking on these songs in such an apocalyptic period, with everyone stuck at home, glued to screens, fed into the feeling that what is real and what is not has become pretty difficult to discern sometimes,” says songwriter Dan Smith. β€œWe’re in the age of deep fake, fake news and lying world leaders. But online, you can be anyone. What that does to our sense of self and to our relationships is huge and it’s fascinating.”

Plus Jo has a world exclusive of U2’s brand new single, Your Song Saved My Life.
