Bastille: Oh Holy Night

This guy is epic! One of the most varied and interesting producers/singers/everything that I've encountered! He picks the coolest samples and then weaves them with haunting or uplifting music and every song is so unexpected and incredible! I'm digging his stuff! It's like discovering 20 different artists at once!
In the Christmas spirit, I guess I'll feature 'Oh Holy Night' which begins with a sample all of you better recognize...I won't reveal what it is, let you discover for yourself. Then his lovely voice comes in and delivers a gorgeous rendition of the christmas classic! Sounds almost spiritual! Be warned, the last few seconds have gunshots, which come as a surprise! Enjoy!


Since that was short enough to not bore you, but sweet enough to pique your interest, here's another song of his from the complete other side of the musical spectrum...also epic! Love his samples! This one has such a sweet beginning, then explodes at 1:33 with some sick female vocals cutting in. The rest of the song is pure exhilarating anticipation as it brings in more cool samples, great vocals, and lovely, orchestral backgrounds! Enjoy!


Finally, the last one I'll bore you with, 'Forever Ever' has the coolest spoken part throughout all of it! Haunting, sad, and still really enthralling! Enjoy once again!


If you dig these...guess what! Both of his mixtape albums are absolutely free!
