Bastille (facebook/twitter) have proved themselves time and time again as one of my favourite finds of the year, and with the release of their debut EP Laura Palmer imminent – things are only going to get better for Dan Smith’s musical vehicle.

The title track, Laura Palmer, has been up on the Bastille Soundcloud for a good while now but is everything we have come to expect and love from their output – soaring vocals, shimmering synth lines and 80s-influenced electronic beats. Overjoyed is more of a pop-ballad, layering Smith’s reverbed vocals over simple piano and stuttering drums – subtle and beautiful in its own way.

Most exciting on the record though is Get Home, which has Smith’s voice put through the vocoder and owes much of its roots to The Postal Service – a band that helped bring soft, heartfelt electro-pop to the masses. It is delicate and alluring, and everything Bastille stands for.

Bastille – Laura Palmer EP is due for release on 14th November on Believe Digital
