Video: Bloc Party – Talons
Bloc Party’s video for “Talons” premiered on the 19th of this month. “Talons” is their second single from their album Intimacy (“Mercury” was their first single). “Talons” was originally offered as a free track for those who preordered their album.
Aside from their song, I like their themed album art (below) since it follows their same style as their previous singles with a picture framed style and simplicity to the look. As for the song, it is not my favorite on the album – there is more yelling than anything and I would suggest one of their savier songs if you’re really trying to get started on this album.
From their website:
“we wanted to keep things fresh and we thought the fans would be more excited to get a new song rather than something off the album. Talons is one of the last songs we recorded during the Intimacy sessions and I always had it in mind to be one of the extra tracks we promised for the CD if it turned out well. It turned out great so we decided to make it the next single. I’m enjoying this way of working, not over-thinking things, just make a decision and get on with it! It’s quite liberating in a way, I’m sure it’s going to be the way things happen more and more in the future”
