Bloc Party premiere official video for Traps single

Bloc Party release their new album on April 29th, 2022.

Bloc Party have premiered the official video for Traps, the lead track from their forthcoming Alpha Games LP.

Directed by Alexander Brown, it features a warehouse performance of a track which Kele Okereke has said was earmarked to be the first single for some time; “From the moment we wrote Traps, we knew it had to be the first thing people heard from this album,” he’s explained.

“Playing it in soundchecks on our last tour before it was finished and hearing how it sounded in those big rooms and outdoors.”
