[STREAM] Bastille – “Flaws”, “Laura Palmer”, & “Icarus”

dig them out, let’s finish what we started, dig them out, so nothing’s left untouched

So the top review of the “Flaws” single right now on iTunes store UK says that the song got his wife pregnant even though the guy is infertile. Seriously. The thing is, I believe it. “Flaws” is kinda freaking magic and listening to this track seems like some sort of crazy privilege. Like I’m hearing the future of pop music. The production is crisp, catchy and fun, and Bastille’s vocals are fantastic. It’s instant best-song list material and no surprise that it’s caused a YouTube cover phenomenon. I’m apparently quite late to this one but thank goodness I’m here now. Join me. And take in two more fantastic Bastille tracks below. “Flaws” is B-sided with “Icarus” and for sale now (buy it for reals) and the stellar “Laura Palmer” is just a big tease I guess.

It sure is looking that way. It may even last longer that that iconic piece of neckwear.
