Bloc Party

“Mercury” è il titolo della nuova canzone dei Bloc Party che sarà rilasciata come singolo l’11 agosto 2008. La canzone è andata in onda su Radio One il 7 luglio 2008 e quindici minuti più tardi era già stata uploadata sul sito della Radio. Così come era acaduto per “Flux“, il precedente singolo, la canzone usa [...]

Have I mentioned I love DJ Lobsterdust? Two more killers from him. Peep them both. What crowd doesn’t love “I Got 5 On It”? Second helping is a little older, but a classic. The dope MSTRKRFT remix goes with Gimme Head like bread and butter…don’t sleep. I Got 5 Helicopters - Luniz vs. Bloc Party (DJ [...]

    如果是Infatuation的常客, 大概會認為我的音樂品味太廣又難以抓摸(朋友也有相同的感受), 之前有人在這裡回應說我的胃口很大, 我相信這句話並沒有惡意, 不過當下看到其實我心裡不是那麼舒服。廣泛的嚐試各類音樂型態那是認為想聽聽看在不同領域的歌手和樂團是怎麼用他們的方式來詮釋, 而又想告訴聽者些什麼。這幾年開始大量接觸各類樂團, 我只能說這塊真是個芳香的花園。這幾天又拿出了Bloc Party二張專輯不停在play, 朋友每次坐我的車, 聽到Bloc Party的旋律時, 總是把他們嚇的半死(笑), 他們是這麼告訴我的"為什麼像你這樣的女生會喜歡聽這樣的音樂", 基本上這句話有兩個盲點, 「我是

Alexandra PalaceFriday 14th DecemberIf a band is trying to gage how far they have progressed, playing Alexandra Palace is the acid test. "Let's pretend for a moment that this is a sweaty little club instead of a huge exhibition centre," pleads Kele Okereke. When you are facing a hall more suited for a political conference than a gig, this isn't an easy task. Bloc Party manage it with a jerky medley of understated style and in-your-face bravado.The Cribs find the transition less comfortable. Chaotic kings of sticky-floored settings nationwide, in front of a larger audience they sound flat. "Our Bovine Public' is a disastrous opener marred by the venue's notoriously troublesome acoustics and poor timing. Things improve with "Hey Scenesters', the Jarman brothers mastering the mix between enthusiastic thrashing and maintaining rhythm.Three albums in, the band have an array of songs to choose from, but pluck mostly from latest record Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whateve

En 2005 apareció en el mercado un disco llamado Silent Alarm que consiguió engancharme de tal manera que no podía parar de escucharlo, se convirtió en uno de esos discos que se hacen un hueco entre tus favoritos como quien no quiere la cosa. Desde entonces esperaba tener la oportunidad de ver a Bloc Party en directo y ayer, por fin, tuve la oportunidad. Fue uno de esos días en los que te levantas mal y vas cansado todo el día, pero eso dejó de importarme cuando empezaron a tocar Song For Clay (Disappear Here).Al llegar allí me encuentro una Sala Movistar casi vacía (que luego se llenó, pero no del todo) y empezaron a tocar los teloneros, Metronomy, un grupo que yo desconocía, hicieron un trabajo bastante bueno aunque se me hicieron pesados con tanta canción aún a pesar de tener alguna que otra canción buena y sus bailecitos acompañaron.Y luego, haciéndose esperar llegaron estos dioses. Tocaron casi todas de su primer disco y bastantes de su segundo, entre las que estaba

Dopo alcuni mesi dall'uscita del loro album "A Weekend In The City" i Bloc Party tornano con un nuovo singolo: "Flux". Un brano che ha fatto storcere il naso a non pochi, per certi versi diverso dai precedenti lavori della band: una virata verso la musica dance, sebbene si riconosca lo stile dei Bloc Party. Personalmente ritengo che "Flux" sia un bell'esercizio di stile, tra l'altro parecchio accattivante. Manipolazione elettronica dei suoni, ritmo serrato e danzereccio, una melodia orecchiabile, la splendida voce di Kele Okereke, le chitarre presenti ma rese come un'immagine quasi spettrale, tanta energia e l'atmosfera che i Bloc Party sanno creare. Tutto questo fa di "Flux" una canzone trascinante e d'effetto che, personalmente, ho apprezzato sin da subito e che non riesco a smettere di ascoltare. Non sarà un capolavoro, ma di certo, ripeto, un ben riuscito esercizio di stile.Eccone il video:

Después de unos días fuera vuelvo con canciones nuevas. Hace poco que Bloc Party publicó su ultimo álbum A Weekend in the city, concretamente a principios de este año, y ahora nos muestran su nuevo material con un Ep. El nuevo single se llama Flux que tiene un toque mas electrónico, se puso a la venta el pasado dia 12. El video de Flux es un poco bizarro con escenas de monstruos y superhéroes en Japón al estilo Ultraman (Juande, seguro que te gusta!!). (more…) Enviaselo a un amigo | Compártelo

                                                                                             單曲封面是真的長這副德性, 不是什麼網路有問題圖開到一半                                                                                     <Bloc Party - Flux>   約莫接近十月底好像隱約知道Bloc Party出了新單曲, 不過一直忘記這件事(真該打屁股), 昨天終於入手這首單曲。這支新單曲"Flux"(released 2007.11.12)由得過葛萊美獎最佳製作和混音的Jacknife Lee來製作, 添加了大量電子時尚元素, MV十月中在NME上首播, 一推出有不少人聯想到Beastie Boys 的Intergalactic space, 實在kuso到不行。依舊走著強勁電子節拍的路線, 應該會成為下一首我最愛的Bloc Party單曲。           

- Bloc Party's new single ‘Flux', is a strong powered electro ballad that simmers nicely on the right side of the jaunty pop that is now expected of them. It's where the most ardent of fans probably will filter away and shout out about the band selling out, changing as the industry changes, it's much more accessible than the previous long player. It may just be a standalone release, but let's hope it's a glimpse into what is to come. With a physical release and a covermount on the NME, the single is destined for good things. ‘Flux' is undoubtedly still Bloc Party, despite being what is almost a euphoric dance tune, but showcases the bands fondness of electronic music, a strong chorus and memorable hook. The one big surprise about this release and one that will make diehard fans question the band is the distinct lack of guitars. It is set for trendy indie discotheques all along the land, with its searing synth lines. Best of all its music you can dance to without jumped up

Nuevo sencillo y video de la banda inglesa Bloc Party, una nueva canción que resalta en algunos momentos el uso del vocoder muy a la Daft Punk. En cuanto al video podemos apreciar que esta muy en la onda de Ultraman. Disfrutenlo.

Review by Heather Phares @ allmusic.com From the post-post-punk of their early EPs to Silent Alarm's sprawl of sounds and ideas, Bloc Party has never shied away from reinventing their music. They continue to evolve on A Weekend in the City, an unashamedly ambitious, emotional album that builds on where they've been before but still feels like a departure. Silent Alarm's eclecticism was one

Review by Heather Phares @ allmusic.com As the sticker on the album's cover states, Silent Alarm Remixed is "a track-by-track reinvention of Bloc Party's stunning debut album by some of their favorite artists." While it might seem a little soon for this kind of reinvention, some of these remixes date back to the band's earliest EPs, such as the reworking of "Banquet" by Phones (aka Bloc

Review by Heather Phares @ allmusic.com Much more polished, serious, and straight-ahead than their initial EPs suggested, Bloc Party's debut album, Silent Alarm, reveals them as a band equally informed by taut art-punk and the grand gestures and earnestness of groups like Coldplay and U2. Though they're not quite as stadium-sized expansive as either of those two bands (yet), Bloc Party

Although it was released a few months ago, I've only just noticed the video for Bloc Party's "The Prayer" on YouTube during the week. Intriguing, disturbing, and just brilliant - all at the same time. And the tune is rather good too. I have to admit that the video made me relisten to the tune , and i've had it playing on my car stereo non stop for the past few days. I'd keep an eye out for Bloc

Bloc Party (Website, Myspace) This is the second and last part of b-side goodness by the fabulous Bloc Party. This batch consists of b-sides and bonus tracks that the band released with their A Weekend In The City release, check out Vision Of Heaven because it’s amazing. And if you know what’s good for you, you’ll get them all. By the way, if you know of a song that isn’t listed either here or on part one, it would be great if you’ll leave a comment and let me know.

This is the excellent new single and video from Bloc Party called ‘The Prayer’… They are one of, if not the best British bands of this century, and this song, the first off their new album, carries on where they left off with ‘Silent Alarm’, The album of 2005. This single came out in the UK yesterday and I’m praying (geddit) it does well in the charts so the band get the recognition they so throughly deserve. This new album, and first single with it seems very natural, with the same style but an increase in skill and maturity coupled with it. I’ll be doing a full review of the album ‘A Weekend In The City’ after a good few listens. But for now as I can’t resist, here’s my favourite single and video by the band… Pioneers Bloc Party, The Prayer, Bloc Party - The Prayer, Silent Alarm, A Weekend In The City

Bloc Party released their second studio album, "A Weekend in the City" which was produced by Jacknife Lee. The album cover is A Modern Project by Rut Blees Luxemburg.This album deals much more with normal day working life than was addressed on Silent Alarm, drawing themes from the 7 July 2005 London bombings, immigration, drug abuse, Black British lifestyle, homosexuality, and criticism of youth subculture. The first, low-quality leaked version has been mostly met with mixed reviews by web-critics and fans alike, with the success of Silent Alarm setting high expectations for the next album.The first UK single, "The Prayer", was released on January 29, 2007. The first single in the US is "I Still Remember"."Song for Clay (Disappear Here)" was originally titled "Merge on the Freeway" (and is inspired by the novel Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis), "The Prayer" was originally "A Prayer to the Lord", "On" was originally "Wet," "Where Is Home?" was originally "Death of a Century", "Machi
