Bloc Party will release their new album in two days time (August 21) - but you'll be able to hear a new song from the record exclusive on NME.com from Tuesday (19) afternoon.
The band announced the shock release during a webchat with fans on Blocparty.com yesterday (August 18).
NME.com can exclusively reveal that Intimacy, the band's third album, is available to pre-order on CD and mp3 from Blocparty.com now.
The record will see its release in stores on October 28 on Atlantic Records. Fans who pre-order the physical album, which will contain different tracks from the digital release, will receive a free download of the digital version upon purchase.
Intimacy was recorded in two separate sessions, as the band chose to work with both Paul Epworth and Jacknife Lee on the record.
