Music Under Fire

Russell Lissack, Bloc Party's lead guitarist, who is now working on a side project "Pin Me Down" with his new band mate, New York-based Milena Mepris, has news on their MySpace page:

"It's been a while since the last blog, and I'm sorry to say this will be a short post… BUT we wanted to announce that "Cryptic" will be on the upcoming Kitsune Maison 5 GOLD compilation, out on CD/LP/Digital December 10 in Japan and in Europe in February."

Whether that fits your Bloc Party fancy or not, you know there will be some talent intertwined in their newest work. Speaking of Kitsune, the Kitsune Maison 5 Gold compilation will also feature new songs by Fischerspooner, M.I.A., Late of the Pier and The Teenagers. Kitsune will feature a 12" remix single of "Cryptic" this spring. Exciting, huh?
