Bloc Party ended their hiatus by debuting their new single, 'Octopus', the first since their 2008 third album, 'Intimacy'.
'Octopus' is a typical Bloc Party song, jangling guitars, beeps and a rapid rhythm section, a Bloc Party somewhat removed from the experimenting of 'Intimacy' and perhaps sounding nearer to the sound of their earlier songs of debut Silent Alarm than the efforts following said first album.
However, despite the catchiness, something feels a tad underwhelming. Perhaps a punchier, more hard hitting song would have been more fitting for a comeback single. Despite this, I'm still looking forward to the release of their imaginatively titled fourth album, Four ;)
'Octopus' is available to download now.
Four will be released 20th June.
