“One Month Off” by Bloc Party
From the album Intimacy (2008)
“One Month Off” by Bloc Party appears on 3 radio countdowns from 3 stations in 2008. It was first released in 2008 on the album Intimacy. Its best result is #66 on the WVBR Top 93 of 2008. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #162 alternative song of 2008.
Of the singles Bloc Party pulled from Intimacy, their third album, "One Month Off" came third, surfacing in January 2009 on 7-inch vinyl and as a download on Wichita, a few months after the record itself arrived in 2008. The whole band takes the writing credit, and Alan Moulder handled the mix.
The video is a curveball: the band never appears in it. Team D.A.D.D.Y stitched footage from Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion fairy tales together with computer-generated scenes of war, once-upon-a-time colliding head-on with the evening news. American alternative stations took a shine to the song, and it peaked at number 49 on Mediabase's alternative chart. Britain mostly shrugged: it stalled at 170 on the UK chart, the lowest placing of any Bloc Party single.
