‘The Good News’ is the latest single to be taken from Bloc Party‘s forthcoming ‘Hymns‘ album. Have a listen below.
Bloc Party are returning with a fifth studio record on January 29th next year, and with a new line-up too after bassist Justin Harris and drummer Louise Bartle replaced the outgoing Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong.
They’re changes which frontman Kele Okereke has said needed to be made both to secure the band’s future and his own future within it.
“At the start of 2013, when we were touring Four, I had kinda had enough of this vibe,” he told news.com.au. I felt like if things didn’t change it was the point for me to step away and do something else with my life. But things did change, I feel better for it.”
“Obviously everyone is aware of the line-up situation, this stuff is just coming to light now but we dealt with this two years ago. We had our fights and our conversations two years ago.”
