Bloc Party to return after extended absence

Bloc Party's sixth studio album Alpha Games is due out April 29 via Infectious/BMG.

Alpha Games is the UK band’s first studio album since 2016’s Hymns. Alongside the album announcement, Bloc Party have shared new single “Traps” as the first taste of the upcoming record. It was produced by Nick Launay and Adam Greenspan

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Kele Okereke said about single, “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.”
