'Wait A Minute' vinyl and download single out today! A new epidemic has recently broken out amongst indie music fans across the world. Hastily named 'Bloc-Party-go-AWOL-itis', the disease is brought on by a lack of new Bloc Party music and uncertainty in the release date of the band's second album. Symptoms include Bloc Party related nightmares, usually involving the band splitting up, and the love of poor quality gig bootlegs.
One cure for this ailment is the aural intake of a 'Silent Alarm' tablet, to be taken at least once daily at loud volume and preferably whilst dancing. However, a new fast, effective pain relief has also emerged...music created by a Bloc Party individual, such as the new 'Wait A Minute' track by The League Of International Super Best Friends.
This single, taken from Yourcodenameis:Milo's forthcoming sessions album, is out today on limited edition 7" vinyl and download only. Mr. Gordon Moakes supplies the (rather funky) bassline and YCNI:M contribute the remaining instrumentation. The track could almost be a lost Bloc Party song, containing shades of 'Price of Gasoline' and driven by a Tong-esque military drumbeat.
The vinyl is limited to just 1000 copies, so your best bet of getting hold of the song is either from eBay, or a download service such as 7 Digital. You can listen to a sample here.
Just bought it on iTunes - it's a crackin' little track. If you listen carefully you can hear some glockenspiel action around the middle 8....wonder if Gordy added that in aswell, Waiting for the 7.18 style?!
