New Party
by R.C Avellanosa
This is Bloc Party's latest and 2008 release. Led by Kele, whom I regarded at first to be Jamaican by descent, is actually British born to Nigerian parents in Liverpool. He also plays the rhythm guitar for the band. This release is like their first phenomenal release 'Silent Alarm'. But I think it's faster, more upbeat and energetic. More synth and effects. Expect a different Bloc Party. According to Kele, The band wanted to make something that has a taste of R&B or electronica. The result is the combination of Silent Alarm's raw sound and the recording experience gained from A Weekend in the City. I think this must also have been inspired by their "Silent Alarm Remixed" release. It's indie rock like 'an expressway' to your skull.
