Bastille have released a new video for their track ‘Eve & Paradise Lost’, starring Bridgerton actor Simone Ashley and directed by BAFTA Award winner Dominic Savage.
The track appears on the band’s latest album ‘&’ (Ampersand), which explores stories of misunderstood figures throughout history and mythology.
“The song takes that famous biblical story and literalises it through a real relationship and a modern lens,” says Dan Smith. “I had a pretty clear vision to represent it with something visually arresting, raw and unflinching, powerful in its simplicity.
“I’m a huge fan of both Simone and Dominic’s work, and it’s been amazing to have this opportunity to work with them on bringing this to life. I loved our many conversations about how to best represent this song and the ideas within it, and I was totally blown away by Simone’s performance on the day which surpasses anything I could have imagined.”
Ashley shares her connection to the project, saying, “When I first heard this song, I immediately felt a connection to it. I loved working with Dan and Dominic and feel so proud of what we have created.”
