Alt-J have opened up about a new track 'Left Hand Free' - expressing their thoughts that it could well be adopted by the NRA in the US.
Discussing the unconventional track with The Guardian, the band called it 'the least Alt-J song ever', adding that it started around 'a joke riff'.
Drummer Thom Green said: "I tried to make the drums as cliched as possible, there's none of my personality in it". Newman adds: "And I say, 'Gee whizz', which I'm not sure is a phrase I've ever uttered before. I can imagine it appealing to American truckers with Good Riddance To Bin Laden stickers!"
Keyboard player Gus Unger-Hamilton added: "Oh God… Someone's going to walk onstage to it at an NRA convention."
