Bastillefrontman Dan Smith has confessed that progress on their second album has been delayed due to their extensive world tour.

The band - who were the second most-streamed act of 2013 after the Arctic Monkeys - topped the UK charts with their debut album Bad Blood but it seems the follow up may be some time coming.

Speaking to Gigwise, Smith said: "I think if we weren't touring so much we'd probably have finished the album by now.

"I've never wanted our music to be one thing. I guess we kind of make things when we feel like it."

When asked what direction they plan to take musically, he continued:

"There will be some songs that'll be quite guitar heavy and dark and at the moment I've been listening to a hell of a lot of R&B and so you know, there might even be some songs leaning that way.

"It's one of those things where what I think sounds like a dark rock song or, you know, like an R&B track, might to someone else just sound like a Bastille song.

"It's hard when you're so involved in it to see it from the outside. But yeah, I'm really excited about the album, I feel like the first album did way better than we expected and way better than our label expected."
