It's called progress
Gordy spoke to Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 tonight about Bloc Party's progress with the second album.
The band went into the studio last week to write and rehearse songs and they're currently working on three or four new tracks each day. A lot of the new material was written whilst on tour last year, so most of the composition process just consists of bringing all of the ideas together. The aim is to get around twenty songs written and ready to demo in about three weeks time.
Proper studio recording will then begin within the next month or two. The producer has not yet been confirmed, but the most likely candidate seems to be Steve Dub. The album should be in the shops by September at the latest!
Asked to sum up the sound of 'Bloc Party Mark Two' in one word, Gordy said 'direct', adding that it is also 'streamlined' and 'layered'.
The interview and subsequent live recording from last October's John Peel Day can be streamed over the next week from the Radio 1 website.
