Bloc Party have announced that they’ll be releasing their seventh album Anatomy of a Brief Romance on September 11 via new Virgin Music Group imprint Contagious Ltd. The album—which marks the band’s first since 2022’s Alpha Games and a pair of solo albums from vocalist Kele Okereke, is preceded by first single “Coming on Strong.”
Produced by Trevor Horn, the project was recorded in the wake of Okereke separating from the father of his children and the aftermath of falling in love once again. “Every lyric you’re hearing on this record was something that actually happened to me,” he shared. “I had to tell the story, from start to finish.”
