Having remained largely silent since the release of their 2016 LP 'Hymns', Bloc Party have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving in the Spring.
The new full-length 'Alpha Games' will become their sixth record to date, is being previewed by the new lead single 'Traps', and is set to be released on the 29th April via Infectious / BMG.
Speaking about the new offering, frontman Kele Okereke said, “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.”
