FOLLOWING a period of confusion and aloofness from the band regarding their plans for the immediate future, the first taster of Alt-J’s upcoming new record Relaxer has arrived.
Possibly recorded during a spell at Abbey Road Studios which was documented on their Instagram account, the band have revealed the off-kilter ‘3WW.’
Sparse and unorthodox in its structure, the track is an ambient and slow-burning affair which primarily leans on folk guitar, touching piano and delicately intertwined vocal performances. Five minutes of starkly beautiful and experimental music, it is likely that this new single points towards a forward-thinking and more conceptual piece than their sophomore album.
The just released track is taken from their upcoming album Relaxer which will be released on the 2nd June via Canvasback. The band have already confirmed their return to live music with a much anticipated slot at INmusic Festival in Croatia.
