Bloc Party: Always B-side You
Here's a photo of Bloc Party in London's Miloco Studios a couple weeks ago, laying down b-sides for the next single, 'Talons', released on October 20th. Gordy with the only mic? Russell with a 12-string acoustic?! They must be red herrings surely...

Watch the 'Talons' video!
Go here to watch the video for Bloc Party's new single, 'Talons', out on October 20th (or watch via YouTube below). Menacing and moody - it fits in well with the track, and is also the first video since 'Hunting For Witches' to feature the band. Watch a bare-chested Kele gnash his teeth, and the other band members...erm...stare at light fittings!

Bloc Party get their 'Talons' out...
Bloc Party's brand new single, 'Talons' was played for the first time on BBC Radio 1 tonight and is now streaming on Bloc's official site and MySpace!
Bloc Party's brand new single, 'Talons' was played for the first time on BBC Radio 1 tonight and is now streaming on Bloc's official site and MySpace!
The track wasn't featured on the digital release of 'Intimacy' last month, but anyone who's already bought the album can now download it for free. 'Talons', produced by Paul Epworth, will be on the physical release of 'Intimacy' (October 27th), along with other new songs, and will also be released as a single (2 x 7" and CD) on October 20th. Remixes will come from The Moody Boyz, XXXChange, FrankMusik, Midfield General and Phones.
Here's what Kele has to say about the track: "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".
