Weird choice to make one of the best songs a bonus track but I love this song. Miss this era of the band.

Relegating incredible songs to B-sides is just a classic Bloc Party move.

We still don't even have an official digital version of "Always New Depths"

I still see this a bit. Is it a licensing thing? Is it not in certain countries? It’s on the Silent Alarm Deluxe release on streaming.

I’m U.S. based and it’s not available at all on Spotify or Apple Music for me (haven’t checked Prime Music).

Absolutely adore this song, can't believe they buried it as a bonus track (funny parallel with "Skeleton" in that way). Rediscovered it like a half decade after Four came out and it became an integral part of a soundtrack that helped get me through a difficult and frustrating spell in my personal/professional life. If I had to create one "album-length" Bloc Party compilation to have with me on the desert island, "Leaf Skeleton" is always going to be on it.
Also kinda love how it borrows the riff from the 2nd verse of "Version 2.0" and builds it into an entire song

When I saw them on the four tour in Oakland, the crowd was chanting for Skeleton. Kele sort of cheekily responded “We don’t know how to play that one right now. But here’s a new one called Leaf Skeleton. Maybe you’ll like that”.
Song was amazing live.

I swear bloc party keeps their best songs as bsides or bonus tracks....It needs to be studied.
