New Bloc Party!

This past weekend Bloc Party had a cryptic countdown on their website and Myspace pages that only led to when they would be on BBC1. They premiered their latest single "Mercury," and discussed their forthcoming third record. Let me go out on a limb and say the song is so dope! Think more in the direction of "Flux," heavy beats and sampling a more electronic departure for the London boys. As far as the third record goes, Kele Okereke says "we're in the middle of it. we're still writing and working on it so it's quite hard to have an overview really, we are making the record I always wanted us to make so we just can't wait for it to be done." I can't wait either, for now rock out....
