Music News: Bastille hints at mixtape this year, album next year

Terre$uxx

How's the new album coming along, are you looking at releasing it this year or next year?

Quote:

Dan: "Sometime next year. We've got something else coming this year but the album… we're just really busy working on stuff, we'll see what happens. We've got a bit of time in September booked out in the studio to try and finish stuff. We're super keen to have stuff out as soon as possible because we're just excited about the new stuff, but we have absolutely no idea."
Will: "I think we're quite charmingly naive about how quickly we can get stuff out."
Chris: "We're like, 'Yeah, we'll just record it in September, put it out in October', but there's more that has to happen than that… a bit more planning."

Will you do another mixtape in the meantime?
Dan: "Erm, no comment. Erm, yeah, no comment. But… maybe."

He kind of denies the mixtape but what else could "Something else coming this year.." mean?

I look forward to the zip file remaining on my laptop for approximately one full listening and ending up in the trash like their other mixtapes

I want album quality tracks.

OPH1+2 combined are a lot better than their album, though. I say that as someone who actually loves their album, too.

I was hoping the title would say "...this month" because we already knew it was coming this year. "bad_news" is excellent so now I'm really pumped for the mixtape/followup.
