Bloc Party To Stop Releasing Physical Singles

Bloc Party have revealed they may only release digital download singles in future, instead of traditional physical formats such as CDs and vinyl.
Bassist Gordon Lissack tells BBC 6 Music: "Our record company's been behind our ideas for this record and future singles."
"We're talking now about not doing anymore physical formats for singles meaning we won't have anymore eligible singles after Talons."
"I think the days are gone where you can really make a splash in the charts, being a band like us, and have that sort of thing make a difference to your reputation and your sales."
Lissack explained that Bloc Party are no longer concerned with getting high chart entries: "Music was never a competition, who ever made it a competition? One decision might be to not get involved in that and put out non-eligible things on purpose."
