Alpha Games

The title Alpha Games was actually something that my best friend was telling me about, a situation that he was having at work with one of his co-workers, constantly berating him or trying to get one up on him to assert that he was more dominant in a professional, corporate environment. He used the term Alpha Games and I’ve never heard that term before.

It just seemed to completely make sense, for not only the record we were making, but how the world was. It felt like the three years that we’ve been making the record, we’ve gone through some very profound changes in the U.K. and in the U.S. as well. We seem to be very divided with that sentiment of us versus them, no middle ground. You have to win at all costs.
