The
first video from Bloc Party’s forthcoming album, FOUR, is
up now on the band’s website. Filmed for first single “Octopus,”
the video follows an exclusive first play of the song on Zane Lowe’s show on
BBC Radio One. Watch “Octopus”
Produced
by Alex Newport (The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In, Polysics), FOUR
– which will be released on Frenchkiss Records on August 21st
– was recorded and mixed in New York City, and is the band’s
first full-length since 2008's acclaimed Intimacy. First
single “Octopus” hits the ground running with a blast of instantly
recognizable nervous energy. The band’s signature angular guitar
interplay and driving rhythm section, coupled with singer/guitarist Kele
Okereke’s dynamic vocal, make “Octopus” a decisively enticing first
taste of the album.
