Bloc Party

In 2016, Bloc Party was riding high on the wave of their fifth studio album, "HYMNS," which had been released just months earlier in January. Known for its evolution in sound, the album marked a departure from their early post-punk roots, showcasing a more experimental and electronic vibe. This live recording of "Octopus" at Le Trianon in Paris is significant as it captures the band during a transitional phase, blending old favorites with new material. Interestingly, the performance highlights their ability to resonate with fans, both longstanding and new, as they infused their setlist with tracks that reflect their growth. The atmosphere in Paris was electric, demonstrating the band's lasting appeal in a city that has long embraced their unique brand of indie rock.
