Synth-pop
Synth-pop

Bastille is a Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of The Neighbourhood, Rag'n'Bone Man, Skunk Anansie, Sam Smith and Stormzy. Those roots explain a lot about how Bastille arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as American Authors, Joywave, Amber Run, Two Door Cinema Club and James Bay, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Emeli Sandé, Muse, Rudimental, Moss Kena and Alessia Cara, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 67 connections around Bastille, reaching back through The Neighbourhood and forward to Emeli Sandé.
