News: Bloc Party recording new material

Yet to be officially announced, but, Bloc Party seem to be recording in James Iha's studio. He is best known as having been a guitarist and co-founder of the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It seems that the four-some from London are taking this slow this time round, the last time they took an album slow was when they released their début recording 'Silent Alarm' and I'm sure we all know how good that was!



I can see a Banjo in this picture (above) and I hope that they don't go down the 'Folk' route, it would not suit any of their playing styles at all. But last week Russell tweeted

"Did write a guitar solo inspired by an NYC fire engine though."

I do hope they let him free on this album and doesn't get restricted to using his Guitar live, yes 'Signs' is an amazing song, but I can't help what the album version would sound like if it had the guitar at the forefront and not synths.
