Kele - Tenderoni

------------------After a week of listening to new Kanye West tracks, Drake and Jay-Z collabs and nineteen-year-old brit crossovers, I'm saturated in upcoming music from artists that we've already got on our ipods.

Kele Okereke stood at the front of three albums Bloc Party. Now he's taking the party into the club with full-force in his album, The Boxer.

If you've already booked Kele for your Summer Rager playlist, good for you. I'm listening to it for what will be the fifth time in a row and I'm still nodding my head. "Tenderoni" harkens to the strobed, sweaty dance clubs, electrifying with an eighties jungle drum beat and lyrics Madonna would die over.

Bloc Party - Your Visits Are Getting Shorter

------------Bloc Party's driving, rythemic techno belongs on every primary-color wearing electro-dance lover's ipod/boom box/8 track. The Brit band has released their latest album Initmacy in digital format in August 2008, then in CD form and on itunes two months later. "Your Visits Are Getting Shorter" is a techno-breakdown of the inevitable breakup, and if this kind of breakup involves a breakdown of strings and strobe lights, then maybe it won't hurt that bad. Get close (perhaps even closer, as the cover suggests) with Bloc Party and their new album, Intimacy.
