Sky Larkin were asked to rework a track off the latest Bloc Party LP ‘Intimacy’ – ‘Ion Square’ – Katie suggests the song naturally sits as an ‘end of the night anthem’ but also a ‘lullaby’.

we’re experiencing the first stretch of non-locomotion in four months and slowly rebuilding our bodies; nestor is regrowing the skin on his hands, I’m letting the bruises on my legs evaporate and douglas is getting a haircut.
We’re also PLOTTING hard, and our sleeves have plenty of inhabitants up them.
BUT have no fear, we are not falling off the face of the planet, we’ll see thee at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton this Saturday. and then at more festivals that we’re not supposed to tell you about yet….
smell you later
