Bloc Party – I Still Remember

At last, a new Bloc Party single and video from the forthcoming A Weekend in the City album. The Figurehead likey likey. It’s so…….Smiths!

I have to admit though, the video feels like watching The Polar Express. Izzy Figurehead was obsessed with that movie and we must have watched it 1000 times leading up to Christmas.
