Bloc Party announced that their new album called 'hymns'will be out on January 29 and will be the first with the new line-up, following the departure of its original members Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong, who were replaced by bassist Justin Harris and drummer Louise Bartle. The first single is «The Love Within«, That here we can listen.
Regarding the job title, frontman and vocalist Kele Okereke denied that the word "Hymns" refers to any kind of religious epiphany. "I grew up in a religious home, so I am fully aware of its imagery, but I am not a Christian. It is not something you subscribe to".

'The Love Within'
'Only He Can Heal Me'
'So Real'
'The Good News'
'Fortress'
'Different Drugs'
'Into The Earth'
'My True Name'
'Virtue'

Bloc Party formed in London in 1998 when vocalist and guitarist Kele Okereke met the group's would-be guitarist, Russell Lissacken, at an edition of the Reading music festival.
