Bloc Party’s frontman Kele has announced a new album today and has blessed us with a new single.
‘Smalltown Boy’ is taken from forthcoming album The Waves Pt. 1. It’s due for release Friday, 28th May.
The single is a slow burner and a sonically-beautiful track.
“We were due to start working on my second musical with the Lyric Theatre but when the lockdown came into effect those plans were thrown into disarray. I became a stay at home dad of a 3 year old and a 6 month old,” says Kele in a media statement.
“What also became clear was that I still had the desire to create…
“I knew I had to fill in the space of this record entirely by myself, which was daunting but also very liberating.
“This album is literally the sound of me.”
