New Bloc Party album
Thursday will see the release of a new Bloc Party. In an attempt to beat the leaks, and therefore ‘pulling a Radiohead/Nine Inch Nails’, the band will put out Intimacy (which features recent single Mercury) this week, with a CD release on October 27th. The press release tells us to expect “…a mix of the ‘wildly experimental’ and ‘classic’…” – possibly hinting at an album that falls in between the energy of Silent Alarm and atmosphere of A Weekend In The City. The band have also said the physical copy (which can be pre-ordered through the band’s website) will have a few extra tracks, so that is worth waiting for.
A track off the album, Trojan Horse, is being made available to download from NME’s website as a taster. All this information was revealed last night during a live webchat with the band.
The tracklisting:
1. Ares
2. Mercury
3. Halo
4. Biko
5. Trojan Horse
6. Signs
7. One Month Off
8. Zephyrus
9. Better Than Heaven
10. Ion Square
The band are also set to play the following dates this week:
Other dates of note including an appearance at Connect in Scotland and a co-headlining appearance at the Canadian V Festival on the 6th September.
