Download: 'Song For Clay' bootleg

'Song For Clay (Disappear Here)' is set to appear on the new album and is a sublime example of Bloc Party's frenetic, agitated side, featuring some rather out-there vocals by Kele and Gordy. It's not an amazing quality bootleg and the start is chopped off, but I figured it was better than nothing! Maybe someone managed to get a better recording?

As previously mentioned on BLOG PARTY, the track is inspired by the main character in the Bret Easton Ellis cult novel, 'Less Than Zero'.

Recorded by unreal_andy from A.N.D.

Labels: Audio

The riff after the intro vocals is monumental, Bloc Party surpassing themselves once again.

i wouldn't say he sounded horrible. He's pretty intune, but he probably hadn't warmed up properly so doing a falceto probably wasn't the easiest things... it'll sound better from the studio. Good riff. Can't wait for the album!

Hrrrrm, i think i kinda agree with that person who said he sounded horrible. i didn't like the beginning either, and i'm not going to accept the excuse "he probably didn't warm up properly". they're still my absolute favorite, but i could care less for this song.

The intro is terrible but the rest of the song makes it more than forgivable.

I can't figure out the lyrics? someone help me?

" *SOMETHING* rise in champaign flutes, but when we kiss i feel nothing, feasting on xanax, i'm so over it "

is it "Bargles" as in Argle-Bargles which is brit slang for verbal dispute and that type stuff, arguments and stuff like that?

i thought it was 'bubbles rise', and 'feasting on Xanax and Marlboro Reds'!

i dont think he sounds horrible at all. kele's voice is a somewhat aquired taste.

I'm really liking their new stuff, it's a huge departure in many ways from Silent Alarm and yet some of the stuff sounds very similar - a great mix of strange and familiar. Song For Clay has gotta be on of the best things that they've ever done.
