Speaking exclusively to Pitchfork, Kele has revealed that Bloc Party are about halfway through the recording of their sophomore effort.
He confirmed that the new album will feature the songs 'Waiting for the 7.18', 'Uniform', 'Perfect Teens' (formerly known as 'Machine'), 'England' (formerly 'Blue Moon'), and 'Song for Clay' (formerly 'Merge on the Freeway'), inspired by the main character of Bret Easton Ellis' novel Less Than Zero. The songs 'Cells Shaped Like Stars' and 'Kreuzberg' are also being considered, but aren't definitely going to be included.
Kele also mentioned that Bloc Party plan to bring in a string section and guest vocalists to contribute to the album!
