Bloc Party – Anatomy Of A Brief Romance (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
- London's Bloc Party have always written about emotional architecture, the structures people build and demolish between each other, with a precision few guitar bands have matched since *Silent Alarm* rewired post-punk in 2005. A concept album about a single relationship, recorded with Trevor Horn, whose fingerprints stretch from Yes to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, is a genuinely unexpected pairing, and the tension between Bloc Party's urgency and Horn's meticulous sonic architecture is worth paying close attention to.
Bloc Party’s place in hearts & minds was never up for debate, but the past four years have reaffirmed that position and simultaneously ignited the a new passion with fans young & 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 & Harry continue to stake their claim on people’s affections with a co-headline UK & Europe arena tour with Interpol this autumn as well as a run of massive outdoor shows in the US with Muse.
