dbpprop:abstract
  • Intimacy is the third studio album by British indie rock band Bloc Party. It was recorded in two weeks at several locations in London and Kent during 2008 and was produced by Paul Epworth and Jacknife Lee. The album was made available for purchase on the band's website as a digital download on 21 August 2008 after minimal promotion. It was released in physical form on 24 October 2008, with Wichita Recordings as the primary label. The record peaked at number eight on the UK Albums Chart and entered the Billboard 200 in the United States at number 18. Bloc Party wanted to create an album that further distanced the band from the traditional rock set-up by incorporating more electronic elements and unconventional musical arrangements. As the record's title suggests, its tracks are about personal relationships and are loosely based on one of frontman Kele Okereke's breakups in 2007. Three songs were released as singles: "Mercury", "Talons", and "One Month Off". Reviewers often focused on Intimacy's rush-release and central theme, and considered them either bold steps or poor choices.

  • The chorus of "Ion Square" borrows a line from E. E. Cummings and is Okereke's favourite track on the record. The song contains studio effects such as overdubbing.

  • They are so solid and so confident that it seems inevitable that they will get many chances to slowly drift into more daring lands. But without more risk, they may be destined to make albums like Intimacy – accomplished and intriguing, but not life changing, not classic.
