What Bloc Party does with Four is what every band on a hiatus dreams of – take a break, come back when they feel like it and sound better than ever. It is a hard task, with the risk of fans not paying attention to the return or the return sounding stale and used, but Bloc Party executes it perfectly. Despite a three years of separation, complete with solo albums and side projects from three quarters of the band, the British four-piece’s new album is so crisp and fluid that it seems like they never took a break.

Bloc Party returns after a self-imposed hiatus with a true blue rock album. WATCH THE REVIEW
British indie band Bloc Party returns to the music scene this week with Four, their fourth record and the first release in four years.
Four está há algum tempo disponível para audição dos interessados e já poderia ter sido resenhado anteriormente por aqui. Mas o novo trabalho do Bloc Party precisou ser ouvido repetidas vezes antes de receber um veredito. A “dificuldade” em analisar Four se dá pela análise ir além da pura sonoridade do disco. O contexto de retomada da banda, a responsabilidade de apagar a má impressão deixada pelo último álbum, Intimacy (2008), o que o novo trabalho sugere para o futuro do quarteto inglês... tudo precisa ser levado em conta. Assim, a [...]

There's always been antagonism in the music of Bloc Party between guitarist Russell Lissack and frontman Kele Okereke's own desire to create an electro record. And it's been a busy couple of years for the band, what with Okereke off writing his own solo material (such as the excellent Tenderoni and What Did I Do? ) and seemingly being kicked out. Now Bloc Party return with their fourth album, ingeniously entitled 'Four' (sadly not linked to Beyoncé) . Okereke has clearly knocked the [...]
Two plus two = Four. That's Bloc Party's lo-fi equation for a very enjoyable comeback album. Frenchkiss, 2012 8.5 / 10.0 Four is the first LP we've heard from British band Bloc Party since 20082s Intimacy. It's been a long wait for fans, who in the years between, have watched several of the [...]
Remember last year, when Kele Okereke , Bloc Party ’s lead singer, thought he was kicked out of the band in apropos of nothing but wild speculation? The weirdest part of that whole event is how the band then felt divided into Kele versus the rest of the band, making the inner-workings of Bloc Party seem perpetually on edge. After 2008’s Intimacy , Kele took time to explore a solo career, leaving his band to wonder when they might start making music again. The awkwardness [...]
Listening to Bloc Party's Four is like sitting through a two hour film only to realize that all of the funniest parts were shown in the thirty-second preview.
Dear Freeloaders, it's Friday! To enjoy your weekend, DEVO, He's My Brother She's My Sister, Bloc Party, Ramona Falls, Maps & Atlases, Zambri and Matthew E. White are here to offer you some great streams and videos… First up, DEVO sticks it to Mitt Romney in this awesome tribute to Seamus, the poor ...
Well it has been a long time coming, and it’s probably felt like a hell of a lot longer to die hard fans, but finally we can say that BLOC PARTY 's new album, Four , drops tomorrow. There has been an enormous amount of hype surrounding the release of this, their fourth full length, ever since the band announced they were coming out of hiatus and then released 'Octopus' + a RAC Remix . But as [...]

Artist : Bloc Party Title : Four Label : Frenchkiss Records Release Date : August 21st After a break-up make-up sex is either a big mistake or a brilliant idea. And there’s the same level of uncertainty when bands re-unite to create new music after a hiatus. The latest release from Bloc Party kicks off in interesting fashion with the band retaining a studio conversation about needing to do a re-take of [...]

A menos de una semana para que se publique oficialmente, Bloc Party ha decidido poner en streaming su nuevo disco, Four , en una web habilitada para ello. No tenemos constancia de que vaya a estar ahí por un tiempo limitado, así que no hace falta que dejemos nuestros quehaceres para escucharlo de inmediato. Aunque solo sea unos días antes, es todo un detalle de Kele y compañía, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que evitará que la gente tenga que buscarlo en otras fuentes -ilegales la mayoría-. [...]
Bloc Party's highly anticipated album Four hits stores next week, but they're offering a full album stream of the project starting today. In their own words: "In late 2010, Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong went into the studio. The result is 'Four' - the fourth album by Bloc Party, greater than the sum of its four parts. The album will be released on the 20th of August but you can listen to the album in its entirety exclusively before it's released." Stream: Block Party - Four
You can now stream the brand new Bloc Party record, Four , in it’s entirety below. While many fans have been anticipating this for a while, including myself, i’m not sure if i’m loving the results. Seems like a bit too much aggression and anger going on here. After a few more listens, i’m sure i’ll warm up to this more. Four , will be out August 21st via Frenchkiss. Pre-order now .
In a week where we're being treated to some amazing albums by the likes of Yeasayer and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti , let's just throw another one into the mix. Bloc Party 's fourth album Four has seen the band shed some of the more experimental (for them) electronic signals they were put out on their last album Intimacy and instead have gone for a harder, more in-your-face approach [...]
Bloc Party [ Twitter / Facebook ] fans, listen up: those of you (and there are plenty) who have been longing to hear the band return to their roots and produce another Silent Alarm won't be completely satisfied with this album. As for me, well, I'm not sure if they're 'that' band anymore - then again, I don't want them to be, and maybe it's time for their fanbase to stop wishing for the same thing. Seven years is a long time, and recent comments made by the band about how 'everything we've tried to do has always been [...]
Bloc Party return with Four , which drops the week after next. It's a long-awaited return, preceded by a few US shows including their storm-delayed Lollapalooza set last weekend. These Brits are used to playing for mud-caked fans in the UK, so this was nothing new for them. "Team A" throws us some of those unique rhythms we loved on their Silent Alarm debut and Bloc Party are already saying there may not be a fifth album, so let's enjoy them while we can.
