Bloc Party released their new album Intimacy today (with cover art that looks somewhat like a PG version of MSTRKRFT’s “Bounce” cover). After hearing the track they released a little while back called “Flux”, and a bit later the track “Mercury”, I was pretty excited to hear the entire new LP of theirs. If you hear “Flux” before listening to this album it will give you a pretty good idea of what’s in store, on the faster tracks at least. Like the other albums by Bloc Party, Intimacy is a mix of both up-beat dance rock tunes, and slower tracks tinged with a bit of romance. Not to take away from the others, but surprisingly it was the less “dancey” tracks on this album that stood out in my mind. The track “Ion Square” was among my favorites. Others include “Zephyrus”, “Trojan Horse” and the synth heavy “Your Visits Are Getting Shorter” that almost seems purposely made to be remixed. There were a couple tracks I wasn’t completely impressed with, but in all the album lived up to my expectations. Bloc Party will always hold a special place in my heart.
