Bloc Party share new in-the-studio teaser

Kele Okereke has previously said the band are working on a fifth album.

It remains unclear as to who actually remains in Bloc Party, but the group’s official Twitter page has posted a 25-second in-the-studio teaser, followed by the slightly ominous shot of a graveyard. Fans are already speculating on whether this could point to a final Bloc Party LP.

Here’s what we know: Kele Okereke has previously gone on record to state that Bloc Party are recording their fifth studio album. ““It’s sounding like nothing that we’ve ever done before but that’s what every always says,” he told Triple J. “We’ve always been fans of lots of different sorts of things and I feel that maybe in the past we tried to recreate different worlds or sounds. I feel that this record is an evolution of where we were. So far, there’s nothing really that I can compare it to in terms of other musicians where as in the past I could… This is very much our own record.”

They’ve since been confirmed for FYF Fest. Drummer Matt Tong has already left the band, and bassist Gordon Moakes has said he’s not involved in the new album. Guitarist Russell Lisack has recently been photographed in the studio.

Check out the new teaser below.
