Intimacy Remixed is the companion remix album to 2008’s Intimacy, the band’s third full-length release, and features remixes by the likes of No Age, Mogwai, Armand Van Helden, Phones and more. Segments of three tracks from Intimacy (“Signs”, “Ion Square” and “Ares”) are now available to download from www.blocparty.com as high quality MP3 files, allowing fans to create their own remixes and upload them to the site for all to hear.
In August 2008, Bloc Party generated lots of excitement when they surprised fans during a web chat by announcing their third album, Intimacy, was complete and would be released digitally that month. While receiving critical acclaim for the album and touring the world for the past seven months, the band was crafting Intimacy Remixed. This album elevates Intimacy‘s tracks with mashes, splices, loops and layers that swirl and fold together. Vocalist Kele Okereke‘s voice blends into the fabric of each song, as each remixer’s individual musical stamp helps transform the original creation into something exciting and new.
Bloc Party will complete a tremendously successful North American tour in the beginning of May and then head back home to the U.K. to prepare for a run of summer tour dates and festivals overseas.
