British synthpop band Bastille have shared their new single "Weapon" featuring Angel Haze, F*U*G*Z, and Braque, which you can check out below. A live version of the song debuted back in March, but this studio version will appear on Bastille's upcoming mixtape VS (Other People's Heartache, Pt. 3).
The track features some dark, hip-hop inspired production and heavy beats that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Yeezus, and perfectly complement Angel Haze's delivery. You can check out Bastille's "Weapon" right here:
Bastille's debut album Bad Blood was released back in March 2013 and spawned six singles: "Overjoyed," "Bad Blood," "Flaws," "Pompeii," "Laura Palmer," and "Things We Lost in the Fire." Their upcoming mixtape VS (Other People's Heartache, Pt. 3) is set for release on Dec. 8, and will reportedly have a more experimental attitude.
"I love having the side lane of our mixtape as a place where we can make music people might not expect," singer Dan Smith said in a statement (via Radio.com). "The mixtape is very much a reflection of our 2014."
"It's always been really important to me to constantly make new music," Smith continues, "and also to collaborate with people, something we don't really do on our proper albums."
