Bloc Party have confirmed the title and release date of their comeback album Four.
The band wrote on Twitter that the follow-up to 2008's Intimacy will be released on August 20. They also posted a video trailer.
The three-and-a-half minute clip features music from the new album and footage of the band working on the record in the studio.
Four is available for pre-order now.
Next month, Bloc Party play their first UK shows in three years with three intimate live gigs.
