Apparently Bloc Party are still around and their latest album Four comes out on the 20th of August.  Octopus is the first glimpse of that forthcoming album and seems like a return to form after a few years of musical meandering. Watch its video below.

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 [...]

Manca poco più di un mese all'uscita di "Four": quarto - appunto - disco dei Bloc Party di cui vi avevamo segnalato il video-trailer qualche tempo fa. Un lavoro annunciato dallo stesso frontman Kele Okereke che dovrebbe confermare la riuscita del tentativo di 'ricompattare' la band dopo qualche momento di incertezza proprio di Okereke. Arriva quindi "Octopus", primo singolo estratto dall'album, con tanto di video girato in sala prove. Com'è? Solito brano con buon 'tiro', chitarre nervose e stacchi perfetti per i dancefloor indie . Nessun cambio di rotta (un [...]

J'ai été très heureux d'apprendre il y a quelques jours que le groupe anglais Bloc Party s'apprêtait à sortir son 4ème album, simplement intitulé Four . Il sortira le 20 Août sur Frenchkiss . Pour nous faire patienter, ils ont sorti leur premier single, Octopus . Un titre vraiment agréable qui me rappelle leur début. Il fait également office de chanson officielle du festival de Melt, rien que ça. Et les petits génies de RAC n'ont pas trainé pour nous sortir un remix qui rajoute un côté électronique à l'original. Bien sympathique et [...]

"Octopus" by Bloc Party, the first single from the band's new album Four available now on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/bloctopus . Also, here's the pretty awesome RAC remix of the track.

� Octopus � est le premier extrait de Four, le nouvel album de Bloc Party, qui sortira le 20 août au Royaume-Uni, donc on l'espère quelque part dans ces eaux-là en France (de toute façon il fuitera sur le web dans deux semaines). Je vous avais parlé d'Intimacy il y a 4 ans (putain 4 ans!), je [...]

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 >>

How do you break news that everyone already knows? Well if you’re part of a tight-knit friendship group, there’s a good chance they’ve already made up their minds to continue liking you before you tell them what they’ve previously heard through gossip. If you’re Reading and Leeds festivals , then you just ignore that everyone knows and continue with the disappointment. If you’re Bloc Party however, it doesn’t really matter. After all the ridiculous speculation that saw the London band propelled from cult rockers to tabloid garbage in the forms of [...]

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 new album Four will be out next month. Octopus is the first cut, watch the video.

"Octopus" leaked over the weekend and I totally missed it. Bloc Party put out the official video for the lead single off Four today. I'm sporting major wood after hearing this joint. Can't wait for the rest of the album.

On the back of the news that Bloc Party will be releasing their forth album 'four' in August , comes 'Octopus' the first single from said album. Played for the first time on Radio 1 yesterday, and sounding a return to a rock inspired sound, which we've not heard since the bands first album 'Silent Album'. 'Four' is due for release August 20th and 'Octopus' is avalaibe to buy from iTunes now, link below. Bloc Party - Octopus  (iTunes) Update It may have only had it's first [...]

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 [...]

Hace un tiempo les contamos que Bloc Party estaba trabajando en un disco llamado Four . Como parte de su promoción, filmaron y compartieron el videoclip para la canción Octopus , su primer adelanto. Four es el cuarto álbum de la banda inglesa liderada por el hombre más sexy del indie rock , Kele Okereke , y estará listo entre el 20 y [...]

Waking up to a new Bloc Party single will define your day. And let me tell you, today was a glorious day. Surfacing from the album 'Four', 'Octopus' gives, takes, gives and then takes a little more. Leaving you in a state of musical uncertainty.. Do I like it or do I love it? I'm really glad they're throwing themselves into the studio again. I thoroughly enjoy Kele as a solo artist and thought he was a standout at Splendour last year, but let's be completely honest here; Bloc Party is an institution. [...]

Os lo presentábamos hace unos días. El nuevo tema de Bloc Party ya está dando de qué hablar, tanto por los que creemos que puede tratarse de una muestra de uno de los discos más interesantes del año, como por los que insisten en que el cuarteto no levanta cabeza. Una cosa es segura: El nuevo tema se distancia bastante del último trabajo. Se distancia pero a la vez sigue incorporando sonidos electrónicos, y trae de vuelta parte de las melodías que hacían que muchas personas se interesasen por [...]
