Bloc Party - Mercury
If the one-off single "Flux" from nearly a year ago and this new single (supposedly from the forthcoming new album... no one is too sure when it is actually coming out) are any indication, Bloc Party appear to be headed towards a slightly more dance-electro vibe. I cannot say I am a huge fan of either song, though "Mercury" does have a solid beat that possesses the ability to make the whitest of the white (otherwise known as me) dance a little. Bloc Party has always had fantastic tempo and beats in their songs that essentially made them a type of post-punk dance band, so I feel as though this turn towards a more electronic sound is unnecessary. Ultimately, what truly annoys me about this track is the electronic stutter when he says "Me-Me-Mercury." Pretty enjoyable video, though.
