Indie Legends Announce New Album with Artwork Featuring an Iconic Glasgow Landmark

The 14-song record chronicles a relationship from first glances to heartbreak and is produced by Trevor Horn.

  • On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Bloc Party released their lead single 'Coming On Strong' and announced their seventh album, Anatomy of a Brief Romance, produced by Trevor Horn.
  • Following his 2022 LP Alpha Games, frontman Kele Okereke wrote Anatomy as a memoir-like 'chronological portrait of a love affair' documenting his separation and unexpected new romance.
  • Horn, who has over 50 years of experience producing records, collaborated with Okereke as the band debuted 'Love Bombs' and 'Pigwig' live this March at BBC 6 Music Festival.
  • Contagious Ltd., a new Virgin Music Group imprint, will issue the album as its maiden release, while Okereke noted he now feels 'less prudish about sex and connection and intimacy.'
  • Later this year, Bloc Party will join Muse on a North American tour, then embark on an autumn co-headline tour across the UK and EU alongside Interpol.
