& “Ampersand”, Dan Smith’s newest project, is a striking departure from his work with Bastille, exploring intimate storytelling through a collection of songs based on the lives and connections of people throughout history. With Bastille’s busy schedule paused, Dan found the rare quietude of 2020 a fertile ground for a new creative venture. The seeds for Ampersand began during lockdown with the song “Leonard & Marianne”, inspired by a documentary on Leonard Cohen and Marianne Ihlen. This initial spark ignited a broader journey, ultimately producing a deeply collaborative and introspective album that echoes Dan’s own musical roots, including influences from folk icons like Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan.

From the moment you arrive, you’re wrapped in an atmosphere of serenity and effortless luxury, where everything feels expansive yet perfectly intimate.
