Bloc Party - Anatomy Of A Brief Romance (Red Vinyl Ltd)(Out 11/9)

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.
