"Ratchet" led off The Nextwave Sessions, the third EP from English rock band Bloc Party, landing on 25 June 2013 via Frenchkiss after Zane Lowe gave it its first spin on BBC Radio 1. Dan Carey produced it, Alex Prieto mixed, and the writing credit is shared by Kele Okereke, Russell Lissack, Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong.
That lineup makes it a quiet milestone. It was the last single the original band put out together: Tong had already quit by the time it was released, though he still drums on the recording and turns up in the video, and Moakes followed him out in 2015. It also found a second life on the FIFA 14 soundtrack.
