Bastille showcase their Give Me The Future Experience with a new video for 'Remind Me'

Bastille have shared their new track, 'Remind Me'.

It arrives with a video that features the band's new Give Me The Future Experience, launched this week on Oculus. A press release explains: "Formulated using footage from a special one-off show dubbed the ‘Futureverse’ gig, the band were able to bring the metaverse to a real-life physical performance using cutting- edge virtual production technologies."

Of the song, frontman Dan Smith says: “I started working on "Remind Me" a few years ago in LA with some writer friends at the very beginning of the “Give Me The Future” album process. We weren’t really sure what it would be for but always loved how different it felt. Finishing it off in London with Mark Crew and the rest of the guys we’d wanted to make something sharp and minimal. The lyrics are about how our minds can taunt us with memories that play uncontrollably like scenes on a loop, so we set the track over this hypnotic, rolling guitar riff. We invited a bunch of singers to lend their voices to the track.

"We’d been diving into a bunch of music from the 80’s that had sounded futuristic at the time, so it fits with the ideas of the past’s versions of the future that we explore across the album. This song was like a jumping off point for us a couple of years ago and helped shape the sonic tone of the whole GMTF album.

"Plus, I’m a massive Michel Gondry and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” fan, and love how that film explores memory and relationships, so it was fun to nod to it."
