Wow. Bloc Party took part in their first ever webchat last night (18th August) with some interesting revelations. Bloc Party's eagerly anticipated new album 'Intimacy' will be released very soon. Thursday in fact in all its MP3 glory. The physical edition will follow on October 27th and will feature additional songs which is more fantastic news. Preordering both formats will cost only £10 and £1 delivery charge and the MP3's will be available from Thursday.
Quote taken from Bloc Party:
"The album produced by Paul Epworth (Silent Alarm) and Jacknife Lee (A Weekend in the City) was recorded in Kent and London. Some songs are Bloc Party at their most wildly experimental, while other tracks are simply classic Bloc Party, fitting in seamlessly amongst fan-favourites 'Helicopter', 'Banquet' and 'So Here We Are'."
If Bloc Party manage to pull off another Silent Alarm, I'll be impressed/disappointed. This could be Bloc Party doing a Muse, they'll either go wildly experimental and ruin it all or write songs to please the fans that can't accept that AWITC is a new album. Either way, this is a big step for a relatively young band. They play Reading as second headliners on Saturday night, it's gonna be ace. This does mean that I wont actually be able to hear the new album until at least monday which is simply not acceptable. However, as Pete pointed out, as far as reasons for missing new bloc albums go, being at Reading is a pretty damn good one.

01. Ares
02. Mercury
03. Halo
04. Biko
05. Trojan Horse
06. Signs
