New Bloc Party Tracks




So most of you Blocheads have probably already heard most, if not all, of Bloc Party's third album, Intimacy, which received only a digital release until now. Well, the physical album is due out in U.S. stores tomorrow and it comes with two non-digital tracks, "Letter To My Son" and "Your Visits Are Getting Shorter." The former track features the first ever Bloc Party song to feature acoustic guitar, at least as far as I'm aware of. Feels like it would have fit in with a number of A Weekend... b-sides. The latter track is a little more in the vein of the electro-tinged Intimacy tracks. The intro feels a little Burial-y with some pretty strings, but quickly gives way to more dance-y "Ares"/"Mercury" type grooves (although considerably less grating). You can grab both of them HERE
