Bloc Party ends another hiatus, drops another single

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
British indie-rock group Bloc Party has ended its “indefinite hiatus” by dropping a new single called “The Love Within,” which will appear on its upcoming fifth album, Rolling Stone reports. After releasing its previous LP—aptly titled Four—in 2012, the band took some time off for the second time in six years, with guitarist Russell Lissack citing“rollercoaster” relationships between bandmates as one of the reasons for the break. And sure enough, Bloc Party has re-emerged with a different lineup: longtime bassist Gordon Moakes has left the band, with Menomena bassist Justin Harris taking the reins. Drummer Louise Bartle also officially joined the band earlier this year, replacing Matt Tong, who decamped in 2013.
