'Signs' remix EP...out now!
Just a reminder that the 'Signs' remix EP is out this week, available on 12" vinyl and download. Here's the tracklisting...
1. Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)
2. Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix Instrumental)
3. Signs (Pantha Du Prince Remix)
And if Armand Van Helden's effort is too abrasive for your liking, download below an alternative remix by sayCet, French electronica artist extraordinaire. This one keeps the delicate glockenspiel, floating the Björk-esque chimes on a sea of washing synths and barely-there bleeps. Beautiful.
[Download] Signs (sayCet Remix)
P.S. Happy Birthday Matt...30 today!

Bloc Party postpone Japan tour
A message from the band...
"We want to apologise to our fans in Japan. We have been touring too much and it’s taken a toll on us physically. We have already had to cancel shows in America. We didn’t want to cancel shows in Japan. Neither do we want to give less than 100% during our performances in Japan. So we have decided it would be better to postpone the dates and give ourselves time to recuperate. We are sorry to have to do this and hope you are not too disappointed. We look forward to seeing you in November. Thanks for your support. Love Bloc Party."
