Bloc Party burst onto the UK music scene with their
      raucous debut album Silent Alarms in 2005, proving
      to be a unique act in the indie rock scene, with a
      collection of uptempo songs blending contemporary
      post-punk with art rock. The band immediately
      resonated with a new generation in a similar way
      that contemporaries such as Arctic Monkeys and The
      Libertines had, largely helped by the flamboyant
      personality and distinct vocal style of frontman
      Kele Okereke. The record went platinum in its first
      year as the band were championed on mainstream UK
      radio by the likes of Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe,
      with a buzz also being created in the States where
      extensive touring followed.

Their second album A Weekend In The City (2007) saw
      the band drip feed electronic influences into their
      sound, while also expanding on the straight forward
      guitar rock of their debut, before showing a
      distinctly increased experimental side, with heavier
      use of electronica and synths on third album
      Intimacy released just one year later.

Their next LP Four, released in 2011 was produced by
      Alex Newport of nineties sludge metal band Fudge
      Tunnel, and returned to more of a straightforward
      rock sound, but with a maturity in their song
      writing that clearly came with the experience of
      being a successful band, almost a decade into their
      career. Bloc Party then completely stripped back and
      produced a mellower and funkier set of songs on
      their fifth album Hymns where

Okereke and lead guitarist Russell Lissack were
      joined by a new rhythm section of Justin Harris on
      bass and Louise Bartle on drums.

Alpha Games (Infectious/BMG) is their sixth record,
      and it certainly is a thought provoking and
      interesting collection of songs, with a progression
      of their unique sound in part no doubt influenced by
      having recently toured their early material prior as
      there are certainly some elements of old school Bloc
      Party scattered throughout, with a number of classic
      sounding and anthemic chorus’s, similar to the style
      that the band made their name with.

Intro song ‘Day Drinker’ explodes into a memorable
      chorus following an early ska feel, while also
      featuring a lovely heavy, fuzzy distorted guitar
      outro riff. From here the record jumps into the
      incredibly catchy first single ‘Traps’, which is up
      tempo with a rolling bass hook, a kind of nineties
      Blur style to the verse and some classic lyrics from
      Kele which include the line “Lick lick lick, lickety
      split � raise the stakes � talk dirty to me!”

There are moments with a mellower vibe on the LP
      which sound like they could have come from the Hymns
      sessions, including ‘You Should Know The Truth’ with
      its funky bassline, the atmospheric ‘Of Things Yet
      To Come’ and ‘If We Get Caught’.

Elsewhere, there certainly seems to be the greatest
      use of electronica and synths since their
      experimental third record. ‘Rough Justice’ has a
      verse with electronic dub style drums, while ‘Sex
      Magik’ has a psychedelic and spacey synth running
      throughout. ‘By Any Means Necessary’ has a dark
      disco/dub edge, while ‘Callum Is a Snake’ (one of
      the standout cuts for me), starts with a sombre
      bassline over a drum & bass/jungle style percussion,
      featuring some use of spoken word by Kele, who spits
      snarling lyrics including “You got me looking like a
      mug and that’s not the look I’m going for”, and
      “You’re a snidey little fuck � Callum is a Snake”.

The personal aspect to Kele’s lyrics shine through
      once again on melancholic album closer ‘The Peace
      Offering’, which finishes the record in style,
      starting down tempo with further spoken words
      including “I don’t wish you death by stinging
      nettles, I don’t wish you death by a thousand paper
      cuts � no not any more”, before it builds to a
      crescendo.

Bloc Party are a band who aren’t afraid to
      experiment, do things their own way and inject a
      little humour in their work to counteract the darker
      moments. On Alpha Games there is a little bit of
      everything they have done before thrown into the
      mix, and certainly the first half of the album is up
      there with their finest work. The quality does dip a
      little in the second half, but overall this is a
      solid return from a band who created an original
      sound and continue to stand out from the crowd
      seventeen years after their debut.
