ABOUT

Bloc Party return with their sixth studio album 'Alpha Games' and this exclusive Blood Records zoetrope picture disc edition of the album which comes hand-numbered to order.

Alpha Games is the band’s first studio album since 2016’s Hymns, and the first Bloc Party album written and recorded as this four piece; adding the musicality of Justin Harris (bass) and the unbridled energy and power of Louise Bartle on the drums to capture the spark of their live shows and to deliver the most exciting Bloc Party album yet.

Alpha Games, produced by Nick Launay and Adam Greenspan (Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, IDLES), includes new single Traps, which sees the band returning to the raucous, high-octane sound of their earliest work in an outburst of propulsive post-punk. The album’s 12 tracks veer from the intense and confrontational (Traps, Day Drinker) to melodic and introspective (If We Get Caught, By Any Means Necessary), and marks a new and important chapter in one of music’s most important voices in Kele Okereke and important bands in Bloc Party.

——————————————————————-

To get the most out of zoetropes and view the animated effects, we recommend trying one of the following methods:

View or film it through a phone camera with the frame rate set to 30 or 60 fps.
Use a zoetrope or strobe-light app.
Use an adjustable LED strobe light to view it with the naked eye.

For the clearest results, use bright, even lighting and hold your camera steady above the record. If using strobe effects, please be mindful of anyone nearby who may be sensitive to flashing light.
