Bloc Party have spent the past few years reaffirming their status as one of British indie rock’s defining bands, drawing huge crowds on tours with Paramore, headline shows at Crystal Palace Park, and a triumphant return to Reading & Leeds. From the enduring impact of Silent Alarm to the restless evolution of their later work, the band continue to connect across generations. Their next album channels that renewed momentum into a narrative-driven record examining a year-long relationship in candid, often bruising detail. Produced by Trevor Horn, it finds Kele, Russell, Louise and Harry pushing their sound forward once again while retaining the urgency that first defined them.
