About this album
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”; the first two tracks entered the UK Top 40. Intimacy was generally well received by critics. Reviewers often focused on its rush-release and central theme, and considered them either bold steps or poor choices.
Origins and recording
Bloc Party’s second album A Weekend in the City, released in 2007, allowed the quartet to evolve sonically by including more electronically tampered soundscapes, but the band members were not entirely comfortable with more daring musical arrangements when making the record. According to multi-instrumentalist Gordon Moakes, the impromptu November 2007 single “Flux” “opened a door to the fact that we could go in any direction” in future works.
