Pitchfork

The Chemical Brothers are all about collaboration. It's a star-studded party at every recording gig, and while the pages of Pitchfork may express dismay about the Manchester electronic music gods having too many cooks in the kitchen, sometimes magic happens. Kele Okereke of Bloc Party may well understand this magic; the frontman of the relatively new but completely rocking critical darlings lent his vocals to one of the better tracks from the Brothers recent album Push the Button, "Believe", which is slated for release today in the UK along with a B-side and an Erol Alkan remix, which is never a bad thing:

01 Believe (Extended Version)
02 Spring
03 Believe (Erol Alkan Remix)
04 Believe (DVD)

The brothers Chemical are only dropping a handful of dates on the world this spring, but Bloc Party, as previously announced, is touring it up. And, of course, they'll both appear at Coachella, a scant two weeks from now. A little of both:
