I’d climb more trees

After recently listening to Bloc Party’s new album, I’m inclined to believe lead singer Kele Okereke took a page from the book of the average homeboy, because he’s defintiely smoothed out his rapping. While I’ve never looked to Bloc Party for clever or insightful lyrics, I do have to say that when words such as “forlorn” end up sounding more like “full lawn,” I can’t complain. But the best part is when they incorporate recent trends into their music. For example there’s currently nothing that pleases my ears more than the affected British cooing of the word “sudoku” that can be found 1:44 into “waiting for the 7 18.” Try giving it a listen and see if you can help from smiling.
