Bloc Party reveal video for new EP track 'Ratchet'

Despite announcing that they’ll take an extended break/indefinite hiatus at the end of their current festival live run, Bloc Party have still managed to record a new EP for upcoming release.

The Nextwave Sessions EP will drop 12 August (UK) / 13 August (North America), but before then the London fourpiece have revealed one of its five tracks: ‘Ratchet’.

Premiering on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show earlier today, the accompanying video lends some of the same footage as the clip for previous track ‘Octopus’, with the track harks back to their more angular roots. Watch it beneath:
