New Bloc Party Single Out Next Month

added 08 July 2008 at 10.37

Bloc Party are set to return with a brand new single month ahead of the release of their highly anticipated third album. Entitled 'Mercury', the single will be yours to buy when it comes out on August 11.

Speaking to the BBC, Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke said the track had been finished "a little while ago".

He added: "We're really proud of it so we thought we'd let everyone hear it. I'm still somewhat in awe."

The band's third album is likely to be released by the end of the year. Okereke has described it as "the record that I've always wanted to make". Quite how that will sound is still anybody's guess but for now, you can watch the video for 'Mercury' below.

 

What do you think of 'Mercury'? A cracking return or nothing to write home about? Let us know what you think below!
