STRAIGHT OUTTA LONDON! After a lengthy hiatus the often raucous lads from London known as Bloc Party are back with their 5th studio album. Their last release was back in 2012 and sitting on the brink of total break up or long time relaxation the band's future was up in the air. After going back to their rock roots on 'Four' coming off of the electronic influenced third album 'Intimacy' the band is found experimenting once again with dancey rhythms. This is presumably from singer Kele's solo efforts coming into play as they've both been majorly influenced by the ongoings of modern dance clubs. While the dance vibes have much more of a presence than their debut, this is still a fun listen from front to back. Pressed on double white vinyl..
