Goodbye, &.
You sound like music that had just been waiting to be written all along.

I’m beyond grateful that I got to end our journey together with this absolutely unforgettable event. Words will never come close to describing what you mean to me.

It feels like the end of an era that was far too short. That evening was a full circle moment for me. From the entire European tour in wonderful theaters to the smallest and most beautiful venue I’ve ever had the chance to be in.

It breaks my heart not knowing if I will ever hear these masterpieces live again.

PS: In the background you can hear perhaps the last notes of '&' ever played. The final song of the night. Dan’s favorite track of the whole album. 'Drawbridge & The Baroness'.

Special thanks go to @estwilkisault and @beaucolburn who encouraged @bastilledan to give this project a chance and always had his back.

To the wonderful #amperband and the tour team for the warmest tour ever. @akpattersonmusic
@merrickwinter @charliebarnesmusic @msmoiramack @florrie @adamfoster87 @amysergeantmusic @joehorridge @rpelleymounter @theycallmeabimbola @bestlaidplansrecords

To the boys, who gave Dan the space for his creative freedom. @woodybangsthedrums
@kjesimmons & Will.

To the creative minds behind everything surrounding it, who made Ampersand what it is. A heartfelt project. @mrbabysweet @markbcrew @danpriddy_
@theohersey
@estuaryenglish_13 @harriet.bruce

...and all the other wonderful minds behind this project. 𖹭

Above all, my deepest thanks go to @bastilledan - for creating this wonder with his brilliant mind and unmatched gift for songwriting, and for surrounding himself with all these kindred souls.

Thank you, &.

Folks, let’s be real. We thought we were ready. So ready for this album. But nope, we are *so* not ready for what Dan & Friends are about to serve us on a silver platter. Like, how beautiful can an album even be? How cool the artwork? How moving the voice? How deep the lyrics? Seriously, we’re *so* not ready for everything this amazing Ampersand era has in store, but here we are—eyes, ears, and hearts wide open, knowing that what’s coming is gonna be good. No, even better. It’s gonna be epic, and we’ll be right there for it. Cheers to Ampersand!

I put together a few lesser-known facts about Marilyn and Arthur — some surprising, some heartbreaking, and some that might make Misfits Together hit a little differently. ❤️‍🩹

How many of these did you already know? 👀

Dan and Ralph went live to chat about Misfits Together, answer some questions from the chat and even play a few of the songs for us.

We got Dan vibing to his own songs, some fidget toy talk, a little insight into his habits when he’s drunk, @chachawildthing joining in and sharing her love for The Note – and Dan casually eating a tangerine in the middle of it all. 🍊

Enjoy the snippets of Silver Bullet, The Scream & The Only Name I Own (The song I’ve been deeply in love with ever since I first heard it a few weeks ago. ❤️)

A very nice little glimpse into the world of Misfits Together. 🤭🫰

So excited for what's to come!! 🤩🫶

10 years of Wild World. 🫶

A decade of an album that somehow feels just as relevant today as it did in 2016.

To celebrate, here are 7 random little facts from the Wild World era you might or might not know. 👀

How many did you already know?

Happy 10th birthday, Wild World. 🖤🌎

10 years of WILD WORLD. 🌎🫰

An album about trying to make sense of a world that felt loud, divided and frightening. And somehow, ten years later, it feels just as relevant as it did then.

But somewhere along the way, these songs became more than an album. They became places, people, friendships, nights we never wanted to end and moments we still carry with us.

Ten years later, the songs are still the same – but none of us are.

Thank you to everyone who shared a little piece of their Wild World for this video with us.

"Help me chase those seconds"

Happy 10 years, Wild World. 💚🌎

Es wird Zeit, euch endlich ein bisschen mehr über die letzten Wochen zu erzählen – und über eine Reise, die erst der Anfang von etwas ganz Großem ist. ♡

Am 20. August führte uns diese Reise zu Universal Music nach London. Ein paar Wochen zuvor hatte Dan zu einem geheimnisvollen Event eingeladen, für das man sich bewerben konnte – ohne zu wissen, was einen dort erwarten würde. Und irgendwie hatte ich tatsächlich das riesige Glück, ausgewählt zu werden. 🥹

Gemeinsam mit etwa 40 anderen Menschen wurden wir von der lieben Gabba empfangen – und dann wurde endlich das Geheimnis gelüftet:

Wir durften an einem Pre-Listening für Dan und Ralphs neues Projekt „Misfits Together“ teilnehmen und als einige der allerersten Menschen all die neuen Songs hören. ♡

Jeder Song wurde uns zweimal vorgespielt. Erst einfach zum Zuhören und Fühlen, beim zweiten Mal durften wir unsere Gedanken, Emotionen und Interpretationen festhalten. Und irgendwo dazwischen habe ich mich ziemlich hoffnungslos in einige dieser Songs verliebt.

Am Ende haben wir unsere Hefte voller Eindrücke wieder abgegeben, damit unser Feedback tatsächlich in den weiteren Prozess einfließen kann.

Und genau das fühlt sich bis heute völlig surreal an: Mein liebster Künstler möchte tatsächlich wissen, was ich über seine unveröffentlichte Musik denke – und meine Gedanken dürfen einen winzig kleinen Teil zu diesem Projekt beitragen. ♡

Danach standen wir wieder mitten in der Londoner Nacht – glücklich, völlig überwältigt und mit unzähligen neuen Melodien und Geschichten im Kopf, über die wir erst einmal schweigen mussten. 🥹

Inzwischen dürfen wir ein bisschen mehr erzählen: Oh America, The Note und Silver Bullet werden Teil von Misfits Together sein – einem Album, das vom Leben und der Beziehung von Marilyn Monroe und Arthur Miller inspiriert ist und von Liebe, Identität, Ruhm und künstlerischer Freiheit im Amerika der 1950er-Jahre erzählt.

Viel mehr möchte und darf ich noch gar nicht verraten. Nur so viel:

Freut euch auf das, was kommt. ♡
