Posted September 9, 200816 yr From Culturedeluxe: Having already pre-released their new album `Intimacy` digitally (or `done a paid Radiohead` or whatever people call it these days), Bloc Party will release a brand new single a week before the physical LP comes out. `Talons` is the name of the single and eagle-eyed (see what I did there?) readers will be able to tell me immediately that it`s not on the album...well, not yet anyway. Kele Okereke explains: "We wanted to keep things fresh and we thought the fans would be more excited to get a new song rather than something off the album. `Talons` is one of the last songs we recorded during the `Intimacy` sessions and I always had it in mind to be one of the extra tracks we promised for the CD if it turned out well. It turned out great so we decided to make it the next single. I’m enjoying this way of working, not over-thinking things, just make a decision and get on with it! It’s quite liberating in a way, I’m sure it’s going to be the way things happen more and more in the future." It`s released on double 7", CD single and digital download with those who have already downloaded `Intimacy` being able to pick up `Talons` for free. Remixes come courtesy of Moody Boyz, XXXChange, FrankMusik, Midfield General and Phones. You can listen to it now on their MySpace.
