Most people spend their vacation time somewhere bucolic and peaceful. Not Bloc Party. Next year, they plan to spend A Weekend in the City with their second album, which will be released February 6 on Vice. It's the London quartet's follow-up to last year's Silent Alarm and Silent Alarm Remixed. (Yeah, we guess that kinda makes it their third album. Or second-and-a-half.)

As previously reported, the album was produced by Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol) and recorded at Westmeath, Ireland's Grouse Lodge Residential Studios.

According to a press release, A Weekend in the City was inspired by what frontman Kele Okereke calls "the living noise of a metropolis," as well as the music of Philip Glass, Timbaland, Aaliyah, and Bartok. Photographer Rut Blees Luxemburg will provide the record's cover art.

Oh, and the tracks are in order now (see below)!

Also, we'd like to remind readers that Bloc Party will kick off a North American tour next month with Panic! at the Disco and Jack's Mannequin. Because you might have forgotten.
