Bloc Party just like to do things a little weird these days. I think they are straining their brains trying to think outside the square. Anyway, so following the digital release of their latest album 'Intimacy', Bloc Party have announced details of their brand new single 'Talons' to be released through Wichita Recordings on 20th October’08.
However, 'Talons', produced by 'Silent Alarm' producer Paul Epworth, is not featured on the band's latest album which was given a surprise digital release via the band’s website last month. The single will be included, along with other new songs, on the physical version of the album released come October 28th. For all of those who have already bought or pre-ordered the album the single will be available to download for free.
Talking about 'Talons' singer Kele said, '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'.
As for their next release, who knows what Bloc Party plan on conjuring up.
Bloc Party are touring Australia this November.
