Bloc Party

Bloc Party are going on hiatus soon once they wrap up their tour. This should be no surprise to fans at this point, as it’s just a part of who they are as a band. But we will get something before they disappear. They announced today that they will release a new EP titled The Nextwave Sessions via Frenchkiss Records on August 13.

They’ve released a song of the EP, “Ratchet.” It’s sounds very much like this era of their career would lead you to expect. Somewhat funky, with a big electronic/dance influence. It’s not a favorite of mine, as I am one of those guys who would honestly be happy if they just released another Silent Alarm at this point. We still got a few tracks to hear from the EP, so I am looking forward to hearing the rest of the new material.

Sure, this is probably a beast live, but it’s just not jumping out at me right now. Listen below and leave a comment below with your thoughts on “Ratchet.”
