Bloc Party release ‘The Love Within’ video

Bloc Party’s new single ‘The Love Within’ might have split opinion right down the middle, but those who star in its accompanying video are all firmly in camp ‘brill’.

Set in a strikingly empty shopping centre, the clip sees all manner of characters practising their moves to the heavily electronic new single. Then something really weird happens at the end, which we won’t spoil. Watch it below.

‘The Love Within’ is the first track to be taken from the band’s fifth full-length, ‘Hymns’ (tracklisting below), due January 29th. In the new issue of DIY, out this Friday (6th November) we head into the studio with Bloc Party as they put the album together - pre-order a copy here.
