BLOC PARTY GET INTIMATE
In an announcement that dropped jaws and got hips shaking worldwide, London’s own Bloc Party has revealed that their third LP, entitled Intimacy, will drop digitally this very Thursday and be available physically as soon as October. This move, reminiscent of the rush-to-the-streets strategies of the likes of Gnarls Barkley, Radiohead, and the Raconteurs, comes as a supposed result of the ridiculously early leak of the band’s last LP A Weekend in the City (which we hear at Cannibal Cheerleader had at least six months in advance). Here’s the tracklist:

01.Ares
02.Mercury
03.Halo
04.Biko
05.Trojan Horse
06.Signs
07.One Month Off
08.Zephyrus
09.Better Than Heaven
10.Ion Square

Of course we’ve all heard the inimitable “Mercury” and it’s Manchester-scene, vocoder heavy riffing, but in a separate announcement the band placed the as-of-yet unheard “Trojan Horse” on their Myspace today. Care to give a listen? We think it sounds like a more experimental “Prayer”, what do you think?

Bloc Party – “Trojan Horse”

NEW MY MORNING JACKET VIDEO
We here at Cannibal Cheerleader are waiting with bated breath for the August 24th My Morning Jacket here in Austin at Stubb’s, but until then, we’ll be satisfied with a new MMJ video for Evil Urges standout “Touch Me I’m Going To Scream, Pt. 2″. Check it below and stay tuned for pictures and a show review for what promises to be one of the top shows of the year next Sunday!
My Morning Jacket – “White Rabbit”

ANNUALS DROP NEW SINGLE
Unsure about all this Sunfold side-project business? Just wish Annuals would get back to the bombast and rapture that characterized their wild, folk-tinged earlier work? Look no further young ones, as the band has revealed their new album Such Fun and it comes out Oct. 7th. Take a listen to first single “Confessor” and tell us the band isn’t back in fine, whimsical, volcanic form. Check it.

Annuals – “Confessor”
