I used to like Bloc Party like a-lot but I never loved them – not that I’m comparing but I‘d rather listen to New Order than any of Bloc’s albums any day... well until a bunch of months ago when ‘FLUX’ invade the blogosphere & I prayed so hard that they will for whatever-reason-I-don’t-care they will take a more artificial direction and emphasis on electronics & drum machines.
Flux was a candy floss mediocre to me, a star in my pocket, a diamond on my iPod & I’m feeling there will a bunch of the likes in the future. The latest single ‘Mercury’ – is track that gives me visuals of a King Kong remake in space & surprisingly the track + the video doesn’t come short of any monkey business.
It was produced by Jacknife Lee and Paul Epworth (a.k.a Phones) & it will be released on the 11th of August 2008.
Remixes coming from Hervé (aka Count Of Monte Cristal aka Speaker Junk aka Dead Soul Brothers aka Joshua Harvey), CSS, Flosstrodamus & a B-side titled 'Idea For A Story'!
