By the Numbers
Doom Days is a Dan Smith record through and through. He is credited as the sole writer on all eleven tracks, so the lyricist column is his name alone across the album, while the composer column carries his legal name, Daniel Campbell Smith. The production is a partnership with Mark Crew, who co-produced every track, with Dan Priddy joining on 'Million Pieces,' 'Doom Days,' 'Another Place' and 'Joy.' The band supplies the performances, but the authorship sits with one writer, matching Bastille's pattern of Smith as near-sole songwriter.
Doom Days is the third studio album by English band Bastille, released on 14 June 2019 on Virgin Records. It is a concept album that plays out across a single night, with its eleven tracks sequenced by the hours of an evening from just past midnight through the early morning after. The record follows a party as a way to escape a chaotic, anxious world, moving from bad decisions and hedonism toward themes of hope, escapism and the value of close friendship by the time morning arrives. Frontman Dan Smith wrote every song and produced the album with longtime collaborator Mark Crew, with Dan Priddy adding production on several tracks. It reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and number 5 on the US Billboard 200, and was certified Gold in the United Kingdom.
