Bloc Party’s debut album became a defining document of 2000s UK indie rock, something that wore its various post-punk inspirations thoroughly openly on its sleeve. But if the band rapidly became Kele Okereke’s vehicle first and foremost soon afterward, the original quartet embraced a careening, spiky energy evident throughout on songs like “Helicopter,” “She’s Hearing Voices” and especially “Banquet,” the album’s defining cut with a tight arrangement and vocal acrobatics in full flight.
