Bloc Party

In October 2015, Bloc Party was in a transitional phase of their career, having just released their fourth studio album, "Hymns," earlier that same year. The band's lineup had changed, with guitarist Jonny Brady replacing the original member, the founding guitarist, and vocalist Kele Okereke continuing to lead the group. The performance of "This Modern Love" during the live recording at Maida Vale showcases the band's enduring appeal while highlighting their evolution in sound. Notably, this period marked a significant shift for Bloc Party, as they aimed to redefine their musical direction, blending elements of electronic music with their post-punk roots. This performance also emphasizes the band's commitment to intimacy and engagement with their audience, a hallmark of their early success that they sought to maintain despite lineup changes and an evolving music landscape.
