New Music: Bloc Party: "Mercury" [Video/Stream]
Bloc Party debuted their new single, "Mercury", on BBC's Radio One today, and both the choppy song and its video are online now. The song "may or may not" appear on the band's third album, according to Billboard.com.
The video turns from a fun Planet of the Apes-style Frankenstein experiment into some sort of comment on U.S. government about halfway through. Seriously, dudes? If we wanted to see a fantastical vision of the future, we'd go see WALL-E (and we will).
