Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack has confirmed the band will release new material in the next two months.
Speaking to The Miami New Times, the 32 year old said “We literally were just in the studio this week actually. We still need to do the vocals, but we've been working on six new songs. Depending on how the finished things pan out, we're either going to put out a single or an EP. I think in June or July."
He went on to refer to 'Children of the Future', saying, "That's one of the songs that could potentially be on it, but I think all six songs are very different. I think all the records we've made have been quite eclectic, and this EP is no different. I'm not sure ultimately what songs will be released, but there's quite a variety of songs and sounds coming up."
Speculation around the band releasing new material has been rife recently, with the four piece debuting new material at their live shows in America.

The forthcoming EP will be Bloc Party’s first release since 2012’s ‘Four’, which reached number three in the UK album chart after the band's two year hiatus between 2009-2011.
Bloc Party will be headlining this year’s Latitude Festival alongside Kraftwerk and Foals, which takes in Kent in July, whilst also performing at the Isle Of Wight Festival in June.
