Bloc Party have shared buoyant new single “Pigwig,” another preview of forthcoming seventh album Anatomy Of A Brief Romance.
The song finds the band leaning into the melodic and energetic side of their identity, built around what the group describes as being hit by a very big love.
More than two decades after Silent Alarm, Bloc Party remain interesting precisely because their original mixture of angular guitars, rhythmic urgency and dance-floor instincts has never completely disappeared, even as their records have moved through electronic, pop and alternative-rock territory.
“Pigwig” reconnects some of those elements without sounding like an attempt to manufacture nostalgia. The new track gives today's indie-rock cycle another significant release alongside Fontaines D.C.'s “Marianne.”
