  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!

Woooo, England and Hunting For Witches made it to the final selection! I'm officially happy with this album.
 
AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT...
 
w00t!!!!! I cannae wait!!!! :D:D
 
i thought that they said the present was definitely on it... oh well, i'd rather have all new stuff than songs we blocheads already have anyway. :)
 
i can not wait for this new cd.
 
koolie
 
Awesome, but man what's a 'Seroxat' and a 'Kreuzberg'. I kind of don't like the name changes and how Machine didn't make it.
 
Seroxat is the name of an anti-depresent tablet, dunno what 'kruzburg' is , sounds cool tho, yeh..no machine,ah well, still great!
 
dont worry...machine is perfect teens (name change)...so it is on the album :D
 
i think Kreuzberg is the name of a district in Berlin, and has something to do with the May Day riots
 
Where is Home? formerly Perfect Teens formerly Machine. its a great soung but why not just call it Machine
 
Yeah 3 name changes is a bit much. Machine was good enough
 
it makes sense to be called where is home cos the word machine isnt even in the song!
