Right? I mean, you can see the saliva pooling under the tongue of the person on the right! It's a pretty great image, though, I have to say. Especially considering what we all thought the cover of Bloc Party's new album Intimacy was at first.

These two lovers swapping spit can be yours for the fondling come October 27 in the UK and October 28 in the States, when Intimacy is released in physical format via via Wichita and Atlantic, respectively. Or you can download the album, sans cover, right now from the Bloc Party website.

Bloc Party also recently announced tour dates in South America, Australia, and the UK. They'll be on the road through April 2009.
