Bloc Party: 'Our new LP won't be dance'

Bloc Party have revealed that their new album won't be dance-orientated like their recent single 'Flux'.

The group claim they were happy with the response the single received but have no plans to follow it up with similar tunes on their third LP.

Singer Kele Okereke told BBC 6 Music: "'Flux' isn't an indication at all about the next record.

"The important thing about this record for me was that it showed we could do anything we wanted, we weren't going to settle for being any other guitar band of 2007. Luckily it was successful."

Drummer Matt Tong said: "I think one crucial thing about that song was it was radically different from anything we attempted before and I think it was important in terms of opening up...broadening our horizons."

The band are currently working on the follow-up to their A Weekend In The City album, which was released in February this year.
