I wondered if it was Kele as well :lol:

I'm not overly keen on the cover. I really liked the covers for the first two albums.

I like how they have themes though - Mercury had the square photo in the middle and plain background too, although that was grey.

This one looks a bit bare tbh

 

Apart from the Silent Alarm cover, that era all covers were in the same square style.

NEW SINGLE PREMIERES TOMORROW ON ZANE LOWE'S SHOW

 

I just received an email saying that the new single (which will appear on the physical edition of Intimacy, out in October, will premiere tomorrow evening on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show...and then be offered as a free download for all those who bought the album from their website :o

 

Can't wait!

 

p.s. I've edited the title so it's now the official Bloc Party thread. Seeing as it looks like they'll never get their own forum :(

something to look forward too.

New single, 'Talons' now streaming at blocparty.com and myspace.com/blocparty

Talons sounds great! :dance:

Hope it does better than Mercury :(

 

I thought the new single on Zane tonight was pretty average. As is 'Mercury' really... :(

So it's not Trojan Horse they're releasing?

^^ No, they're releasing Talons, which will be on the physical version of the CD, out in October.

I think Trojan Horse is better, but Talons is pretty good too.

sweet! can't wait!

it seems play.com and blocparty.net got the cover art wrong, its atchully this:

and also...

 

'Talons' will slot in as track number 9 on the physical release, between 'Zephyrus' and 'Better Than Heaven'.

:( I liked the other cover better to be honest, wish that was the real one!

 

And do you know if Talons will be the only new song on the physical?

On the website at the moment, it's only the 10 released in the download, plus Talons. I'm hoping there will be a few more on the physical -_-

i was thinking, or more like hoping it would be 2-4 non download tracks, but it may end up just 'Talons', they seem to be taking it as it comes.

TALONS VIDEO!!!

 

I quite like "Talons". Decent enough song. Still much better on the album though.

Been listening to Talons not stop over the last two days and think it's absolutely brilliant now!

Much better than Mercury, I think and I don't think it would sound too out of place on Silent Alarm :o

I think it'll probably become one of my favourites on Intimacy :D

Only a 4 for Talons? :o

I think it's one of the best, only behind Ion Square and Trojan Horse

4 for Talons your a fooking nutter Jonny.

It's rubbishhh. They could of released any song instead and it would of been better

pffft you're rubbish.
