Exclusive: new song titles, recording details
Bloc Party have so far demoed 15 songs for the new album. Highlights include the following songs, which I've been told sound amazing:
'Hunting For Witches' (described by Kele as 'old skool Bloc Party, with distortion and stuff')
'Day One'
'Death Of A Century'
'Blue Moon'
'Waiting For The 7.18'
'Uniform'
You heard it here first! Expect to hear some of these played on the forthcoming fan club tour.
There's going to be a few more songwriting sessions and then the recording of the album will begin, with either Steve Dub (Chemical Brothers / Roots Manuva) or Jacknife Lee (Snow Patrol / U2) on production duties. The band will record one song with each prospective producer to help them make the decision.
If all goes to plan, Bloc Party should have a new single out in July, with the album to follow in September. Woop.
By the way, those of you who can't afford a seating ticket for the Royal Albert Hall gig can buy cheaper standing tickets for £18.50 from the venue's website.

hey...i posted this a while back, you should be able to find it if you go back a couple months. The guy playing the violin is Owen Pallett - he records under the name Final Fantasy, and he also plays live with Arcade Fire. He's got a website...www.finalfantasyeternal.com
Hope that helps?
