In a couple of tweets, Dan Smith explained the release of DRINK. as the first in a series of themed collections:
You lot might have noticed a new release called “Drink” come up on places where you stream music. Someone mentioned recently that a lot of our songs fall into a bunch of themes so we put some collections together. This being the first. Seeing as we could all probably do with a night out these days… here’s a suitably depressing Bastille themed one. Any guesses what the next one is?
