Bloc Party release their second full-length album A Weekend In The City - 5th February 2007 through Wichita Recordings. Produced by Jacknife Lee and recorded at Grouse Lodge Studios in Ireland. Bloc Party\'s newest collection of songs is a stunning, intense and brilliant follow-up to their celebrated debut Silent Alarm. The album will be preceded by the single The Prayer, released 29th January 2007. Upon release of Silent Alarm in February 2005, Bloc Party were catapulted into the global spotlight, gathering worldwide fans and critical acclaim, with the NME voting Silent Alarm "Album of the Year". They have gone on to sell over a million copies of the album worldwide. A Weekend in The City is inspired by lead singer Kele Okereke\'s interest in what he calls "the living noise of a metropolis." On Weekend, the band captures every detail from ebullient to the mundane - of daily life in a modern city, and the quiet desolation that suffuses everything from commuting to casual sex, from going out on a Friday night to the long ride home in the early hours of the morning. These are songs desperate to understand the meaning that pulses under the moments of our everyday: there are bursting with tension, paranoia, sadness, love and an intense need for reason as to how city life has become so displacing. The track listing for A Weekend in the City is... 01. Song For Clay (Disappear Here) 02. Hunting For Witches 03. Waiting For the 7.18 04. The Prayer 05. Uniform 06. On 07. Where Is Home? 08. Kreuzberg 09. I Still Remember 10. Sunday 11. SRXT Bloc Party will be touring America throughout autumn. They return to tour the UK in January 2007, their first UK Tour since October 2005
Sounds great. I really liked Silent Alarm. The concept seems excellent. I bet this will be another great album.
I completely forgot this album was coming out, but anyway, if it's half as good as most of Silent Alarm I'll like it.
yeah silent alarm was cool however i was a little dissapointed with 'two more years' ihope this new album has more of the silent alarm feel to it
For me Two More Years is the song that got me to listen to them so I can't complain about it. Of course they've got better songs but I still like Two More Years too.
sorry if im not allowed to do this... i thouht i'd post in this thread rather than make a new one for the same reason. i just downloaded the album - and to be honest im not too sure just yet, it does have that bloc party vibe to it. but IMO its missing tracks like helicopter and up-beat tracks like that. if you have managed to get hold of it - let us know what you think its a great album but im not sure...
