  Emotional boy rock will save the world

Speaking exclusively to AOL's Spinner blog, Kele has hinted that Bloc Party's third album will see the band dropping the city-based "going out, getting trashed" themes of 'A Weekend In The City' for a more introspective approach:

"I think with this third record, its very much going to be a record about interior spaces. If 'A Weekend In the City' was me complaining about going out and getting f---ed up, I think this is going to be a very intimate record about staying in and discovering aspects of yourself. And not in a grown-up, Coldplay/Snow Patrol way."

Kele also plans to dive deep into "human relationships, on a real kind of primal level, what it means to feel desire and what it means to actually feel close to someone, or what it means to feel lament - the passing of closeness between people. It's very much going to be a record about internal relationships."

There's also the mention of a possible brand new December single to tide fans over until the next album, but nothing's set in stone yet. Don't expect to hear too many new tracks at upcoming gigs though...Kele's a bit worried about unfinished versions appearing on YouTube:

"That was the one thing that annoyed me mildly about 'A Weekend In the City' tracks. We played them, I guess a year before the album came out, and now in the age of YouTube, everyone's got a camera phone. People were getting really attached to these nascent versions of songs but they still [weren't] finished and they weren't anybody else's property really and I think this time around we're gonna present people with an album."

Countdown to the December single has started!
 
I know, I know, I know, I want to.


Listen to the new December single!
 
I'm not sure why, but something tells me its "The Once and Future King", unless Bloc Party plan on surprising us with a totally new single.
