This week's honour of Friday Flashback goes to 'The Prayer' by British indie band, Bloc Party!
They burst onto radars back in 2005 with their critically acclaimed debut album, Silent Alarm, which spawned hit songs such as 'So Here We Are', 'Banquet', 'Two More Years' and 'Helicopter'. 'The Prayer', however, is taken from their second album A Weekend in the City, and sees Bloc Party broadening their sound. 'The Prayer' is funky and addictive with a swooping synthesised chorus, the song documenting nightclub environments and the drug use that takes place there.
'The Prayer' may not be one of the most well known Bloc Party songs - those seem to reside on the first album - but it is certainly one of the most fun and unique!
Recently, Bloc Party have reformed and are currently making their fourth album, imaginatively entitled Four ;)
