Pitchfork

"Flux", the new single from Bloc Party, finds the band's gaze reaching beyond the City and into new, as-yet-uncharted territory. The track was put to tape with the help of A Weekend in the City producer Jacknife Lee, and according to NME.com, it will be released as a single in the UK on Wichita as both a CD and 7". The CD gets "Emma Kate's Accident" on the B-side, and "The Once and Future King" is carved into the vinyl.

Americans can flip to "Conan" tonight, where the band will play "Flux". How convenient! However, we have to wait until November 20 to buy the track, when Vice will release it digitally both on a "new, improved digital re-release" of A Weekend in the City and on its own digital EP. The EP will feature additional material still to be confirmed.

Having just wrapped that brief tour with Deerhoof, the band have one more U.S. date on their plate before they make their next move. All those remaining shows after the jump.
