Bloc Party's Kele Okereke Recording Solo Album With Spank Rock

November 4, 2009

Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke is recording an album with Spank Rock producer Alex Epton, aka Armani XXXchange.

Fellow producer Hudson Mohawke – Ross Birchard - broke the news on Sunday night in an interview with BBC 1Xtra DJ Benji B, adding that he's hoping to be involved with the Bloc Party man's project.

Asked by Benji B if there are any collaborations he's allowed to talk about, Mohawke said he's supposed to be working with Erykah Badu "and then also, I'm kinda... it hasn't been finalized yet, but I'm also kinda doing a little bit of stuff for Kele from Bloc Party's solo album as well."

"He's doing a record with one of the guy's from Spank Rock, so possibly gonna be doing some stuff for that."

Bloc Party recently announced plans to take an extended break, with drummer Matt Tong unsure whether he will definitely return to the band.
