Originally released in 2005, Silent Alarm marked a bold debut from Bloc Party and quickly became a landmark album of 2000s British Indie Rock. From “Helicopter” to “Banquet” to “This Modern Love,” Silent Alarm helped define the sound of the 2000s and captured the tension and energy of a generation on the edge of change. Restless and immediate, it still resonates two decades on and remains one of the era’s most influential albums.
This deluxe 20th anniversary 4LP box set, pressed on white vinyl, includes the original album over two discs, plus an additional 2LP featuring rare demos, B-sides, and live session recordings. Also included is a 24-page booklet with never-before-seen personal photos of the band and exclusive liner notes, including a new foreword by producer Paul Epworth – offering a deeper look at the album’s creation and legacy.
