The Making of 'Hunting For Witches'
From Pitchfork:
Now that the plastic's off everyone's copies of 'A Weekend in the City', it's time to hear what Bloc Party thinks of their second album. Vice Records pulled singer/guitarist Kele Okereke and bassist Gordon Moakes aside to give a track-by-track rundown of the writing and recording process. Here we learn how the band sampled a radio broadcast for their track, 'Hunting For Witches', and also get into the particulars of how the song's bass tracks were laid down. If it sounds a little tech-geek, well, yup. But as Moakes admits, "[We're] kinda nerds when it comes to recording."
