Bastille - Other People's Hearthache (Cover/Mashup)

      You may not know this but I have tremendous respect for anyone who can use Delta in their name and have it work out well. Although we've only seen this before once or twice each time its something amazing, so to start, props to Bastille. I really wish I could find more info about them online, I feel like whatever facts I have are wrong but if you don't mind I (guess) they are a dance duo from Los Angeles (don't quote me on that). But fuck the facts, whether they're well known or not doesn't matter to me, what does is the music, and by Thor is it amazing. Their album Other People's Heartache, on top of being free, is a masterpiece of modern interpretative electronic, (I think I just made that up) at first I thought it was a mashup album but then I realized what I thought were samples were in fact remakes, covers if you will, performed by Bastille. Each track is a perfect blend of covers and electronic mixing, classic songs remade for a new generation and really I couldn't imagine any one else singing Rhythm is the Dancer, seriously where did this guy learn to sing like that? Now that I've heard it I can legitimately say I can die happy, and I hope I they play this album wherever it is I end up.
