"“Every lyric you're hearing on this record was something that actually happened to me,” Okereke said in a press release. “I don't think I've ever been that candid in the past.”"
"“Coming On Strong” pulses with a thumping beat and woozy, looping guitar riff before settling into a shadowy, electro-rock arrangement that brings the sound of espionage to the speakers."
"“I like the fact that harmonically and musically, it feels dark, sinister, like something is creeping up,” Okereke said."
"Anatomy of a Brief Romance is produced by Trevor Horn who worked with 1980s powerhouses like Grace Jones, Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes To Hollywood."
Bloc Party announced Anatomy of a Brief Romance, releasing September 11 on cOnTAGIOUS LTD via Virgin Music Group. The first single, “Coming on Strong,” features a thumping beat, woozy looping guitar riff, and a shadowy electro-rock arrangement with an espionage-like atmosphere. Trevor Horn produced the album, bringing experience from work with Grace Jones, Pet Shop Boys, and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Kele Okereke described the record as the most confessional and personal, recalling separation from a long-time partner, ensuing turmoil, and finding love again. The album will be available on standard and limited edition vinyl, CD, and digital formats. Bloc Party will support Muse on a North American tour in July.
