Bloc Party's place in hearts and minds was never up for debate, but the past four years have reaffirmed that position and simultaneously ignited a new passion with fans young and old. From touring the world with their friends Paramore to headlining a sold out Crystal Palace Park, performing songs from their seminal debut Silent Alarm through to the constant reinvention of their more recent work, before returning to Reading & Leeds last year to enormous crowds.
Now, propelled by this renewed energy and buoyed by their biggest year of touring in two decades, Bloc Party are ready to release their next album; a narrative work examining a year-long relationship in intimate and often brutal detail, realised in the studio with the legendary Trevor Horn.
Kele, Russell, Louise and Harry continue to stake their claim on people's affections with a co-headline UK and Europe arena tour with Interpol this autumn as well as a run of massive outdoor shows in the US with Muse.
