Indie-rock icons Bloc Party are back in the studio working on new music, it has been confirmed.
The band released their latest album ‘Four’ back in August 2012, but have already decided to hit the studio to work on new tracks - and they may even put out a fresh EP within the next month!
Speaking to Miami New Times, guitarist Russell Lissack revealed:
“We still need to do the vocals, but we've been working on six new songs. Depending on how the finished things pan out, we're either going to put out a single or an EP. I think in June or July. That's one of the songs that could potentially be on it.”
Lissack continued on to talk about the style of the material they’d been working on, and said:
“I think all six songs are very different. I think all the records we've made have been quite eclectic, and this EP is no different. I'm not sure ultimately what songs will be released, but there's quite a variety of songs and sounds coming up.”
Explaining the source of the EP’s eclecticism, he added:
“I was listening to a lot more electronic music the last few months, stuff like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Deadmau5. Then the last few weeks, I've really made an effort to listen to some guitar music again. I was finding it really difficult to get inspired by guitar music recently. I listened to the album by Everything Everything and Foals, and they were both really good.”
