Anatomy of a Brief Romance is the seventh studio album by the English indie rock band Bloc Party, released on 11 September 2026 by music label Contagious Ltd via Virgin Music Group. It is the band's first studio album since 2022's Alpha Games, and the first to feature new band member Harry Deacon on bass and keyboards after replacing Justin Harris in 2023. In an interview with Music Week on 18 August 2026, lead singer Kele Okereke said about the album that "Everything you hear – all the imagery in the lyrics, all those scenarios – happened and comes from a real, honest place." He emphasized that it was unusually personal and even to an extent that it "was scary" and described it as a narrative album about his heartbreak.
