Here is Bloc Party’s new non-album single, “Flux”. What can I say about these boys, they were simply amazing last weekend at Detour, but their new single is a bit… weird, and can only be described as an electro-ballad. It is surprisingly good, Bloc Party’s besty even, but it
does not come off very well live. Trust me.

This song IS weird, but in a good way, me likes.
thanks so much for posting this! i was gettign tired of merely playing youtube videos just to have this song on!
anyway.. i actually think this song LIVE is the best, atleast it was at MSG..
i even prefer the Live Conan version.. the ‘original’ although still great.. just sounds kind of epileptic…
This Bloc Party song really isn’t bad. Is it possible the indie kids got something right in liking this band?
They must be on steroids.
This song is really good. I agree, the live wasn’t AS amazing.
Haha, yeah Bloc Party are a good band — sometimes, other times, Kele is a fucktard
i personal liked how it was performed on conan live more than the studio release. it had a real low-fi sound to it and was just cool.
the live version you have, i agree doesnt sound well. but that’s because of the horrible recording. listening to the live version from their new york show, it sounds much better. there’s a perfect balance of their old style and this new song.
