Alpha Games [Red Vinyl] (LP)
Bloc Party
Amoeba Review
Alpha Games feels like classic Bloc Party turned up a few notches. “Traps” is intense and irresistible, the percussion driving the track forward, the guitars wailing, the vocals brash and bold. “If We Get Caught” is the Bloc Party-version of a slow burner—an ear worm with propulsive melodies, ride-or-die romantic lyrics, and dreamy backing vocals. The band sounds as urgent and powerful as ever, effortlessly fusing indie stylings with perfectly on point production. Rousing, unstoppable, and angular, this is post-punk on hyperdrive.
