September 13, 201113 yr Author Aah IKR?! The sometime Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke continues his electronic voyage with the seven-track collection 'The Hunter', out October 31 through Wichita. He works once again with producer XXXChange, who also worked on last year’s full-length album 'The Boxer'. The lead track 'What Did I Do?', which debuted yesterday (September 12) sees Kele step away from the mic, giving lead vocal to singer Lucy Taylor. Other collaborators on the EP include Sub Focus, Fred Falke, RAC and QNESS. Alongside six original songs is a cover of 'Goodbye Horses', the 1988 song by Q Lazzarus. According to its writer William Garvey, the song is about "transcendence over those who see the world as only earthly and finite. The horses represent the five senses from Hindu philosophy and the ability to lift one’s perception above these physical limitations and to see beyond this limited Earthly perspective".
September 13, 201113 yr BEST NEWS EVER So is 'What Did I Do' floating around somewhere on the internet? WANT NOW
September 13, 201113 yr looking forward to that cover of 'Goodbye Horses' although now I know Bloc Party will be back soon, I don't really need this EP.
September 13, 201113 yr Ah Goodbye Horses. Most famous,of course, for its appearance in Buzzjack's Unknown Pleasures II. (Oh, and some film about someone who eats something). The Kele/Sub Focus collab is the one I'm most looking forward. Hopefully more Rock It and less Kickstarts.
September 14, 201113 yr Author Guys not gonna lie, stressing out a little here...has anybody managed to find 'What Did I Do?'. I've been searching and searching and just can't find it!
September 14, 201113 yr I had high hopes for his 1st album but it was very meh. Heres hoping he won't let me down again! :P
September 14, 201113 yr Guys not gonna lie, stressing out a little here...has anybody managed to find 'What Did I Do?'. I've been searching and searching and just can't find it! I think it's all a cruel LIE and the song hasn't actually been premiered yet, its existence has just been announced. EVIL PEOPLE
September 21, 201113 yr Author "Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has revealed that he is unsure of his future with the band after he spotted them recording without him. The singer explained that he saw guitarist Russell Lissack, bassist Gordon Moakes and drummer Matt Tong outside a studio in New York without inviting him Okereke told NME: "I was actually having lunch about three weeks ago, just here on 8th Avenue and I saw somebody walk past and I recognised the haircut. "It was Russell. I was like, 'Hey!' but he didn't see me and I followed him around the corner and then I saw Matt, Gordon and Russell all standing outside this rehearsal space. They all went inside. "I hope I haven't been fired. I don't really know what's going on, because we haven't really spoken recently and I'm a bit too scared to ask." Bloc Party have been on hiatus since late 2009. Lissack hinted in April that the group were planning a "proper" comeback. Okereke will release his first solo EP The Hunter on October 31, following last year's album The Boxer." :o

September 21, 201113 yr They are blatantly preparing Kele's birthday present or something. After all he's 30 in 3 weeks. FUCKING DRAMA QUEEN. Edited September 21, 201113 yr by The Pavl
September 21, 201113 yr Harsh! I hope they haven't abandoned him, its probably because they thought he was busy promoting this new EP and just wanted to lay down some ideas now. Really cannot wait for new material! Edited September 21, 201113 yr by Doctor Blind
September 23, 201113 yr Author EFBxZaWZy-k I love it so much! Perhaps a bit early to say but I already think it's much better than pretty much all of 'The Boxer'. SO much stronger than 'Tenderoni'. Thinking the thread should be moved to the dance forum though definitely! P.S. Pavel you're in for a treat - shirtless Kele all over the shop. Haha.
September 23, 201113 yr Author Ooh also, previews on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/the-hunter/id466343777 And the cover: http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/072/Music/06/08/3a/mzi.qtcqimvv.170x170-75.jpg It all sounds so good! Especially 'Devotion'. Seriously excited for this now.
September 23, 201113 yr Ah for f*** sake... it's the same Calvin Harris/David Guetta stuff that Marina has turned to. Kele's stuff is so derivative. Same with Tenderoni.
September 23, 201113 yr Finally something other than The Weeknd for me to LOON FOR. 'What Did I Do' is absolutely incredible. Those dubstep-ish breakdowns, the CHORUS :wub: Bald and shirtless Kele. AM I DREAMING?! 'Devotion' DOES sound absolutely and utterly magnificent, and so does 'Love Is A Weapon'. 'You Belong To Someone Else' is going to be my favourite song of the year, sorry The Birds Part 1 :( THE BREAKDOWN. THE ACCORDION. I literally teared up out of pure ADORATION and EXCITEMENT. IN-FUCKING-SANE. I'm shaking. Edited September 23, 201113 yr by The Pavl

IN-FUCKING-SANE. I'm shaking. Haha thought you'd be pleased! My anticipation levels for this have been cranked RIGHT UP after hearing the previews and 'What Did I Do?'. It's all a million times better than I was expecting. Eeee!
