Exclusive: Kele reveals the tracks on the new album Speaking exclusively to BlocParty.net, Kele has named the songs which are set to appear on the second Bloc album! The recording of the album has just been completed, with Kele writing and re-writing lyrics right up to the point of recording them. Rather than working on all the songs that they'd written, Bloc Party decided to concentrate on the select few which they were particularly confident about.
Here then are the 13 songs which have been completed and which will be gracing your CD players and iPods in the (hopefully) not too distant future:
'A Prayer To The Lord' 'England' (formerly 'Blue Moon') 'Hunting For Witches' (woop!) 'It Started In An Afternoon' 'Kreuzberg' 'On' (formerly 'Wet') 'Seroxat' 'Song For Clay (Disappear Here)' 'Sunday' 'Uniform' (the album centrepiece?) 'Waiting For The 7:18' 'We Were Lovers' (formerly 'Cells Shaped Like Stars') 'Where Is Home?' (formerly 'Perfect Teens')
Not all of these songs will appear on the album...the band will decide which ones to omit after the tracks have been mixed. Any songs left off are likely to appear as b-sides at some point in the future though. Check back for more updates!
