Doom Days (stylised as "DOOM D∆YS") is the third studio album by British indie pop band Bastille, released on 14 June 2019 by Virgin EMI Records.[6] It was preceded by the release of the four singles "Quarter Past Midnight", "Doom Days", "Joy" and "Those Nights", and followed by "Another Place". "Those Nights" was premiered on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe on 4 June 2019. The band played music festivals in the UK and across Europe from May to August 2019 in support of the album.[7] An extended version of the album was released in 6 December 2019 with 11 extra tracks.[8]

Background

[edit | edit source]

The album was described as a concept album about a "colourful" night at a party, as well as "the importance of escapism, hope and the preciousness of close friendships". The party was additionally described as having an atmosphere of "turbulent emotional chaos" and "euphoria, carelessness and a small dose of madness".[6] Each song is set at a specific time during this night; these times were also revealed through the Doom Days Society website.[9]
