Remember Bloc Party? Your new favorite band that could? Remember getting down to Banquet and its dirty, dirty remix? Remember how much you loved playing Silent Alarm? Yeah those were good times right? You could press play, sit back, and just coast. It was that good. But time went on, the cd got old, and you had to make room for some new hotness. The remix album was cool, but new tunes were in order. [Though it did feel good to go to a show and know all the words to EVERY SONG YOUKNOWWHATIMEAN?! That shit was crazy ridiculous.]
Well dust off your copy of Silent Alarm and prepare yourself for some brand spankin' new tunes from everyone's favorite lads from across the pond. Come February 6th, you can get your hands on the band's new disc A Weekend in the City, 11 tracks steeped in "the living noise of a metropolis" [according to frontman Kele Okereke] and the musical output of Philip Glass, Timbaland, Aaliyah, and Bartok. Sounds like an ass shaking, thought provoking good time, but again, you have to wait til February 6th. So until then, get your stretch on and play Are You That Somebody bi-weekly in preparation.
