Product Description
Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City
Released 05.02.07
The second album produced by Jacknife Lee. Includes the singles The Prayer, I Still Remember and Hunting For Witches.
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, and the quiet desolation that suffuses everything from commuting to casual sex, from going out on a Friday night to the long ride home in the early hours of the morning. 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.
The track listing for A Weekend in the City is…
1. Song For Clay (Disappear Here)
2. Hunting For Witches
3. Waiting For the 7.18
4. The Prayer
5. Uniform
6. On
7. Where Is Home?
8. Kreuzberg

"A Weekend In The City is the aural adaptation, a digital manifestation, of what it’s like to be a twenty-something in Britain, today. It’s dirty, dishevelled, unsure and paranoid; fearful, easily distracted, boisterous and ashamed; reckless, wild, nervous and terrified; graceful, thought-provoking, clumsy and contradictory. And it’s very nearly perfect." Drowned In Sound
"The real achievement of 'A Weekend In The City' is its path to this conclusion, pulling hard-won moments of contentment from a maelstrom of anger and confusion." NME
