Block, wow, a true original, is in that rare group of artists who didn't just play a genre they actually invented it. From his early, ultra-cool first album that was totally underground New York, basically igniting the anti-folk scene late in the 90s, all the way to a celebrated world-wide set of deluxe reissues that really boosted his work in 2025, Block has constantly pushed boundaries and also set some new benchmarks, for fans and critics alike. He's a big influence across modern indie music, folk-punk and lo-fi writing, placing him near music giants like Regina Spektor, Beck, and also Ani DiFranco.

About “I Thought I Won The War” Block share how the song came about from a wholly unexpected emotional fight: “I was watchin' a whole heap of documentaries on the First World War. Then I clued in I was mixed up in a romantic thing I shouldn't have been. My getaway options, gone. Surrounded by enemies… the battle was joined.

I barely made it, tho..
