Bloc Party: Pre-Order New Single ‘Mercury’ + Tour Dates

On the 11th of August 2008, Bloc Party will release their brand new single ‘Mercury’ which was played for the first time last night on Zane Lowe’s Radio One show.

Speaking live on the show about the new song and the on-going recording session for the band’s third album Kele said “we’re in the middle of it. We’re still writing and working on it so it’s quite hard to have an overview really, we are making the record I always wanted us to make so we just can’t wait for it to be done.”
