Bloc Party returned after a two-year hiatus with Hymns, the first set of songs to feature drummer Louise Bartle and bassist Justin Harris, formerly of the band Menomena. Kele Okereke's fondness for soaring choruses and meditations on sex, drugs, and faith -- and how they often blur together -- provide the main connection to the band's previous work. Backed by slide guitars and a stomping beat, Okereke sings "I used to find my answers in the gospels of St. John/Now I find them in the bottom of a shot glass" on "The Good News." Hymns' ballads are some of its strongest moments, and the most reminiscent of Bloc Party 1.0 and Okereke's solo career. "My True Name" and "Fortress" serve as reminders that their plaintive melodies and soul-baring are still potent, while "Different Drugs'" chemically enhanced portrait of being alone together recalls Bloc Party's highest emotional peaks. "So Real" and "Into the Earth" are intimate, guitar-driven sketches that make the most of Hymns' more straightforward sounds and emotions while taking the band's music in new directions. ~ Heather Phares

商品の紹介

世界的な人気を誇るUKロックバンド、ブロック・パーティーが新メンバー加入後初となる5thアルバムをリリース!
発売・販売元 提供資料（2015/10/19）

Spin - "Okereke sounds more literally centered than he ever has. He's comfortable as the focal point of the less roiling, less violent new band..." Entertainment Weekly - "Frontman Kele Okereke has been more committed than most of his peers in trying to extract humanity from machines and infusing bloops and bleeps with something resembling a soul, and first single 'The Love Within' may be his greatest feat in that regard." -- Grade: A- NME (Magazine) - "Their most sombre, haunted and immersive record to date, it's so drenched in quasi-religious themes and tones..." Clash (Magazine) - "'Exes' is a pared-down, glittering apology to people that Okereke has hurt in the past. It's a beautiful vocal performance and a sign of where the band might yet strike gold in the future."

最前線へ見事に返り咲いた前作『Four』。そこでの強固なアンサンブルにブロック・パーティの安定を確信したのも束の間、この5作目は2名のメンバーを入れ替えた新体制で作られた。グループに残ったラッセル・リサックとケリー・オケレケがもともと始めたバンドなので原点回帰とも取れるが、アプローチは大きく変貌。それは〈讃美歌〉を意味するタイトルからも窺えるだろうか。淡い多幸感が注ぐオープニング・トラック“The Love Within”やゴスペル・ライクな“The Good News”など、憂いのあるメロディーと厚いコーラスを立たせ、ガラージ経由のダンサブルなサウンドを展開。ケリーのまろやかで慈悲深い歌唱が絶妙にハマっていて、彼のソロ作『Trick』の続編的な楽しみ方もできそうだ。
