Bloc Party – “Ratchet”

Music video by Bloc Party performing Ratchet.

“Ratchet,” It’s a solid new song that is equal parts dance and post-punk (dance…punk? Could such a combination even be possible?!) and it comes with a pretty strange music video. If you’re a dedicated fan, you may initially be confused because the video for “Ratchet” is exactly the same as “Octopus.” The only difference being that while “Octopus” became a little bizarre after the opening shot of drummer Matt Tong, this new one becomes absolutely deranged. What starts out with the band playing normally quick mutates into a strange glitchy display as Kele Okereke grows multiple heads, until eventually the band becomes one ever expanding fractal.
