Depois de nos contemplar com um primeiro single cativante (e um clipe arrebatador) com Octopus, os ingleses do Bloc Party apostam na suavidade das guitarras em Day 4 , segunda faixa que podemos conhecer do próximo álbum da banda, Four . O vocal de Kele Okereke também aparece mais suave e delicado na bela música, que ainda conta com um compasso marcante da bateria e uma singela linha de teclados. Four será lançado no dia 21 de agosto. É esperar só mais um [...]

After their last album Intimacy was met with only a scant amount of praise, there were a lot of people who were skeptical going into this new album and whether Bloc Party could rekindle their flame of old. After their first track "Octopus" dropped, however, the excitement around the track was huge. New fans were made, old fans were back in the game, and die-hard fans were overjoyed. Today they gave us "Day Four" , the second new track [...]

Leek Octopus zo uit Silent Alarm geplukt, dan kan Day Four op zijn beurt zonder problemen op een extended deluxe version van A Weekend In The City. Of hoe Bloc Party subtiel naar zijn eigen back catalog verwijst.

It's been a long while since we've heard any music from Bloc Party. For a while we wondered whether we would ever get to hear anything from them again. But, here they are with their first piece of new music since 20082s Intimacy . 'Octopus' is the first single from their new album Four , which will be released in August, and it's markedly different from the dancier, electrofied band that left us in 2009. This sounds far more like their earler, Silent Alarm -era work than we expected. We're currently trying to [...]

Svelato il sound del nuovo singolo dei Bloc Party . Si tratta di Octopus primo brano tratto da Four nuovo dei Bloc Party prodotto da Alex Newport (Death Cab For Cutie, The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In) e registrato e mixato a New York.

Good morning, Freeloaders. It's our favorite day of the week, and to make it better we have a bunch of great free stuff for you! So spice up your friday by listening to some tunes from Bloc Party, The Raveonettes, Naytronix, and by watching a mini-documentary on Tim Maia. Bloc Party: ...
The first single from Bloc Party 's new album Four is tritely titled “Octopus”. This marks not only the first single from their upcoming album, but the first complimentary video as well. Bloc Party’s album is set for release on August 21 via Frenchkiss Records . “Octopus” is available now on iTunes . The video itself is skittish and features the band in an old warehouse. There's some quirky stuff in here, but "Octopus" sounds great and the band sounds whole once more despite being a bit [...]

Now this is how you do a remix. Bloc Party is coming back late August with a new album called Four and Octopus is their first single. The original has the band doing what they do best: a healthy mix of neo-punk and singer/songwriter poetics. Personally, it's great to hear a band stick to their guns and not change their whole image with each album. Bloc Party has made a name for themselves with their sound, why fix something that's not broken? Okay - perhaps that's going out on a limb 'cause [...]
Will they, won't they reunite? Have they kicked Kele out yet? Will they go electro and take their shirt off? Well, turns out the last two parts aren't true, as Bloc Party show off new video "Octopus" from their forthcoming album 'Four'. continue reading >>

They're back. After the hiatus, the side-projects and the tantalising trailer they posted last month, Bloc Party [ Twitter / Facebook ] officially made their return last night. The first single from their fourth album, announced as the rather literally-minded Four last month, will be familiar to those who have been keeping up , but the studio version of Octopus (out August 13th) appeared online after its Radio 1 premiere (with added video, of course; the clip is below), and it sounds like a return to the band's guitar-centric roots. Indeed, the stuttering riff that the song [...]
Bloc Party ’s video for “Octopus,” the first single off the band’s long-awaited album Four , features ribbon dancing and hula-hoops, yet somehow manages not to be lame. That’s probably because these British dance-rockers are way cooler than you or I can ever hope to be. Along with the aforementioned gymnastics, “Octopus” features rapid-shot close-ups of random hipsters, frontman Kele Okereke smirking at the camera, and the band rocking out in a warehouse. The song’s manic intricacy is intensified by flashing colors that would make Rainbow Bright jealous. After four years of a Bloc Party-less [...]

Bloc Party 's "Octopus (RAC Remix)" is the official song of the Melt Festival in Berlin. Enjoy it now. Bloc Party - Octopus (RAC Remix)
If you're not careful, this video from British rockers Bloc Party could bring about rainbow headaches and seizures. With the release of their first new material since 20082s Intimacy, Keke Okereke and co. decided to get all RYGB on our asses and also to turn off much of the electronics that populated much of their [...]

A música é tão boa que deixa o clipe melhor do que realmente é ou vice-versa? A resposta fica por sua conta, porque o que temos pra você é o primeiro single do novo álbum do Bloc Party , que parece resgatar mais dos primeiros trabalhos dos ingleses. O clipe é um mix de imagens da banda em um galpão tocando sua Octopus , trechos de uma gravação do próprio clipe, imagens corridas de alguns adolescentes e quatro ginastas fazendo suas coreografias rítmicas com fitas e arcos nas quatro cores que estampam a capa do novo [...]

Bloc Party have been missing in action for some time now - Four years actually, which makes the new album title very fitting. 'Four' will be released August 21st, and will be the bands fourth studio album. Hear the first track from the album 'Octopus' below.
And they're back......My lord. Bloc Party have released their first single in three years named "Octopus" and I have to say that it's definitely been worth the wait. It's a colourful track with the habitual bloc party drumming, guitaring and kele vocals! After having their time apart working on their respective solo projects, the new album Four is set for release on the 20th of August this year. I imagine that we are in for a heavy set list of new tracks come the end of this month at Splendour [...]
On August 21, Bloc Party will break their four-year hiatus with the release of a new record, Four . The band's just debuted the first single "Octopus," by way of a jumpy new video directed by Nova Dando , which is wrought with blink-and-you-miss-it flash frames and a seductively choreographed rhythmic gymnastic number. The song is available digitally tomorrow, and as a 7-inch on August 13, backed by the B-side "Straight Thru Cru." No stream for this one as of right now, but posting this really couldn't wait until tomorrow. [...]

I'd like to be all cool or whatever and present this without comment, but the truth is that the first time I heard the new Bloc Party record I started acting not unlike tween girls do whenever a new One Direction single hits the airwaves. I love Bloc Party. A lot. For the past couple of years, I've been concerned over the prospect of a breakup and what seemed to be a rather uncertain future, so I was particularly relieved when they started making festival appearances and announced a new album earlier this year. So [...]

Bloc Party está de regreso, el próximo 20 de agosto saldrá su cuarta producción Four, "Octopus" es el primer sencillo y aquí está su video ¿Les gusta? Enjoy.
Daros prisa porque puede durar online muy poco. “Octopus” es el primer sencillo y nuevo tema de Four , cuarto trabajo de Bloc Party al que después de escuchar este primer adelanto podemos vaticinar un brillante futuro. Con toques electrónicos pero con una clara vuelta al rock, se trata de un tema de poco más de 3 minutos de duración que constará como el tercer corte del nuevo trabajo. Un álbum que ha sido producido por Alex Newport, que ya trabajó con The [...]
