Bloc Party have shared a supremely weird new vid for their emotional banger "Virtue".
The single features on recently released fifth long-player HYMNS alongside the likes of "The Love Within" and "The Good News".
With its serrated riffs, barebones bass, and divisive (not a synth but it sounds like one) synth line, it's a gorgeous mesh of old and new. The video is just a bit strange in the most excellent way. Are they supposed to be sexy Smurfs? Why is Kele stuck in the floor?
Take a look at "Virtue" below.
