Bloc Party have released their fourth single from upcoming sixth album ‘Alpha Games’ – check out the joyful if bittersweet ‘If We Get Caught’ below.According to vocalist Kele Okereke, “there are only two songs that I feel like have any tenderness on the record and ‘If We Get Caught’ is one of them.”“It’s really about recognising that the game is coming to an end and about trying to steal a moment of tenderness with your partner before the curtain comes crashing down.
I think it’s about trying to find moments where you can really connect with someone amidst all of the chaos that’s going on in the world,” he added.Check out ‘If We Get Caught’ below.The track follows on from ‘The Girls Are Fighting’, ‘Sex Magik’ and 2021’s ‘Traps’.Speaking about the political slant to ‘Alpha Games’, Okereke said: “These last few years have felt like a morally bankrupt time.
It really felt like we were in an episode of House Of Cards. That definitely bled into what I wanted to say.”“I feel like in all of the songs on this record, there are people in extreme situations, making extreme choices; that’s what I wanted to capture.
But what happens to our humanity when we prioritise success at all costs,” he continued. Bloc Party will showcase ‘Alpha Games’ – the follow-up to 2016’s ‘Hymns’ – on a UK and European headline tour in May/June.
