London’s indie warriors BLOC PARTY conducted by Kele Okereke came up with their
6th LP – Alpha Games – a couple of weeks ago. It was received by the press with mixed emotions, which I agree with.
But with single TRAPS they unleash their devils as they used to do in their early days.
And they showed they live on the American The Late Show.
Kele on a roll…

Band: BLOC PARTY
Who: London post-punk force
from London led by Kele Okereke
Active: Since 1999 / 6 studio albums,
New album: ALPHA GAMES
Okereke: “Alpha Games was conceived on the road,
playing in front of amazing crowds on our last tour
and then brought to life with the fire and the frustrations
of 2020.”
NME says: ‘Alpha Games’ sees Bloc Party still championing
the ’00s scene that they came up in, but there’s not a hint of
nostalgia in sight. With a renewed vigour and the desire to
keep things moving, this sixth album could soundtrack
a new generation of indie discos.
Turn Up The Volume: Great singles (below) but for the rest,
this new record isn’t good enough and far from Bloc Party‘s
high standard. Too many songs going nowhere, not enough
tunes that stick. Next, please.
Singles: Traps / The Girls Are Fighting / Sex Magik
– TRAPS –
– THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING –
– SEX MAGIK –

Kele: ‘From the moment we wrote ‘Traps,’ we knew it had
to be the first thing people heard from this album; playing
it in soundchecks on our last tour before it was finished and
hearing how it sounded in those big rooms and outdoors.”
