About
After gamely circling art-rock, heartfelt indie and daring electronica, Bloc Party decide to cover all three for album number five. The big difference here: frontman Kele Okereke’s exploration of faith. Starting with the church roof-raising, synth-rave stomp of “The Love Within”, <i>HYMNS</i> filters its spiritual and existential inquisitiveness through the band’s complete stylistic arsenal. The chanty “Only He Can Heal Me” establishes the album’s restless, portentous tone, “The Good News” finds a propulsive country groove and the electro stabs of “Living Lux” showcase Okereke’s skill for red-raw break-up despair.
