Bloc Party release new track ‘The Girls Are Fighting’

Ahead of the release of their sixth studio album ‘Alpha Games’ on 29th April via Infectious / BMG, Bloc Party are sharing their newest single ‘The Girls Are Fighting’. “There was no specific incident that inspired this song – it was more a composite of lots of things I’ve seen over the years when being in clubs and seeing violence erupt with feuding love rivals,” Kele Okereke explains. “I’ve always had a slight obsession with those sorts of moments; like a fuse being lit, when actions turn from words into violence. You can learn a lot about who people really are in those moments. I think ‘The Girls Are Fighting’ is kind of self-explanatory – someone’s been selling dreams to someone they shouldn’t have and it’s caught up with them. I just wanted to capture that moment of going from naught to ten in an evening, in a sweaty nightclub. I’m really pleased with the arrangement for this track because it has this 1970s glam rock feel meets Adam Ant feel. I love what Louise is doing on the tom toms.” Check it out below. ‘Alpha Games’ Tracklisting: 1. Day Drinker 2. Traps 3. You Should Know the Truth 4. Callum Is a Snake 5. Rough Justice 6.
