Bloc Party bassist Gordon Moakes has admitted that his group are considering stopping releasing singles in CD format.

Speaking to 6Music, Moakes speculated that current single 'Talons' could be Bloc Party's last physical release because the band are not interested in achieving high chart positions.

"We're talking now about not doing any more physical formats for singles, meaning we won't have any more eligible singles after 'Talons'," Moakes said.

"I think the days are gone where you can really make a splash in the charts, being a band like us."

UK singles chart rules changed in 2007 to allow tracks purchased as downloads to be eligible for entry.
