Japanese pressing of the sophomore album from the British arty Post-Punk quartet features two bonus tracks, e Were Lovers" and "England". Produced by Jacknife Lee and recorded at Grouse Lodge Studios in Ireland. Bloc Party"s newest collection of songs is a stunning, intense and brilliant follow-up to the debut. A Weekend in The City is inspired by lead singer Kele Okereke"s interest in what he calls "the living noise of a metropolis." On Weekend, the band captures every detail from ebullient to the mundane of daily life in a modern city. These are songs desperate to understand the meaning that pulses under the moments of our everyday: there are bursting with tension, paranoia, sadness, love and an intense need for reason as to how city life has become so displacing. 11 tracks including the first single "The Prayer". Wtchita. 2007.
