Released just a year after their second album, A Weekend in the City, and shaped on the move in fast and furious recording sessions, Intimacy is the sound of Bloc Party sprinting boldly beyond their past guitar heroics. “Mercury” is a whirl of warped vocals and hectic rhythms, “One Month Off” hammers a snotty pop-punk banger into new, interesting shapes and “Ion Square” is Silent Alarm’s “So Here We Are” reconfigured as gorgeous, glitchy electronica.
