> Bloc Party alerted fans to Intimacy?s existence, as well as their
> ability to purchase the record instantly, via their first-ever web
> chat yesterday afternoon. After an unfinished version of their
> last album, A Weekend in the City, was leaked four months prior to
> its release, the band decided to get their newest collection of
> songs out to fans immediately upon the album being mastered and
> ready for the hearing.
>
> Produced by Paul Epworth (producer for Silent Alarm) and Jacknife
> Lee (producer for A Weekend in the City), and mixed by Alan Moulder
> (Nine Inch Nails, My Bloody Valentine, etc.), Intimacy was recorded
> in Kent and London. Some songs are Bloc Party at their most wildly
> experimental, ditching their guitars for something all together
> more exciting, while other tracks are simply classic Bloc Party,
> fitting in seamlessly amongst fan-favorites ?Helicopter,? ?Banquet?
> and ?So Here We Are.? Urgent, explosive, beautiful, daring ? these
> are all words that describe Intimacy?s ten tracks. The album?s
> first single ?Mercury? is already a chart-topper in the band?s
> native England.
>
> Bloc Party are set to return to Canada for numerous dates beginning
> with Toronto?s Virgin Festival on September 6. Dates are listed
