Signs

It was an album track and not a single. Wikipedia describes it as built from a synth pulse with layered glockenspiel and mbira samples, compared to Steve Reich's minimalism. Clash's 2008 guide wrote that synth strings and glockenspiel glisten under a tender vocal. Stereogum ranked it seventh in its ten best Bloc Party songs, calling it arguably the band's most intimate track to date, with Okereke at his most romantic, mourning a dying love. AllMusic's Heather Phares, as relayed by a search result, called it frosty yet strangely hopeful. We found no statement from Okereke on the song.

Setlist.fm shows 166 plays among 1,165 setlists. At their NPR Tiny Desk concert, published July 15, 2025, with Okereke, Lissack, Deacon and Bartle, they played "Banquet", "Signs", "Mercury" and "Blue", and the song was described as shimmery and glockenspiel-forward. We found no video, covers or samples, and presume our upload is the album track.
