More about: Alt-J

alt-J have returned with news of a brand new album. The Dream gets its lead single in 'U&ME' alongside some visuals of skaters doing their thing in a half-pipe that's coming apart like something out of Inception.

With impeccable production—The Dream was produced by Charlie Andrew, who won a BRIT Award for his work with the band in 2016—'U&ME' is a climbing, ponderous track that reintroduces the band's off-kilter style and the unusual vocals of Joe Newman.

It's been four years since alt-J released their most recent album Relaxer and nearly ten years since their smash debut An Awesome Wave.
