Block - Musician

Block belongs to a rarified category of artists—one who has not simply ridden the wave of a genre, he’s made waves by creating one. From his first underground cult-hit record which helped launch the anti-folk movement of the late 1990’s, to this year’s 2025 series of remastered deluxe-edition releases of his storied catalog, Block has broken boundaries while setting standards for commercial and critical success. His influence can be felt in every corner of modern indie, folk-punk, and lo-fi songwriting, alongside contemporaries Regina Spektor, Beck, The Moldy Peaches, and Ani DiFranco. Now, Block is set to release “I Thought I Won The War” on November 12th, the first single from his forthcoming new record ‘Love Crash,’ out next year on Meridian (ECR Music Group). Produced by Chris Kuffner (Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor), and mixed and mastered by Blake Morgan (Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, Janita), this new single showcases Block at the top of his game—as incisive, authentic, and emotionally vulnerable as ever—and as Billboard proclaims, “Engaging and promise filled.”
