Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has confirmed that his band are working on a new album. The group released their most recent record 'Four' in 2012, before embarking on a hiatus the following year.
Now, it appears they're set to return. Speaking to Australian radio station Triple J, Okereke claimed that the band have "started recorded" their fifth LP. "I guess it's the first time that I have talked about it but we are making a record at the moment," Okereke is quoted as saying. "It's sounding like nothing that we've done before but that's what everyone always says." Okereke continued: "We're at the writing/recording phase. We've started recording - I think we have about 18 [song] ideas and we're going to lay them down properly in the next few months." The singer also performed a new track called 'Exes' on acoustic guitar.
