Last we heard from Bloc Party, they were flirting with four-to-the-floor beats on ‘One More Chance’. Coincidentally, singer Kele Okereke subsequently went solo to pursue bleep-tastic electro-pop further, and the remaining three were left auditioning for a singer. Good news, folks, they found one! He shares the same DNA as “Kele” the artist but, musically, he’s a very different proposition from the bloke who made The Boxer. Processed beats and Auto-Tune have been shown the door for Four, in favour of thrashing rhythms, chunky riffs and the guidance of At The Drive-In producer Alex Newport. Ironic really that an album recorded in NYC, by a band many had written off, should prove that British guitar music is in rude health.
