Alt-J announce third album

2017-03-06 by cavalrycaptain | 32 Comments
British art rockers Alt-J have released the details of their upcoming third album. Entitled Relaxer, the album is due out on June 9 and features eight new songs. Relaxer's opening track, "3WW," was released along with the announcement. The album cover incorporates art from the 1998 game LSD: Dream Emulator.

Alt-J's most recent record was 2014's This Is All Yours, though their drummer, Thom Green, released the instrumental album High Anxiety last year.

If the album's based in any part off of the game whose cover art they're referencing it's going to be crazy as shit

Song is solid too. Relieved to hear them putting effort into their songwriting again

I loved This Is All Yours's subtleness, so I def dug this track too. Absolutely wonderful!

The artistic direction is the most interesting aspect about this entire thing. Were they permitted legally by the game's publisher to use footage? Keeping LSD's concept in mind, are they basing the lyrcism or the sonic aesthetic around that dynamic? The game progressively corrupts its textures the further you advance, and the music is, too, corrupted, diverse, poly-rhythmic and algorithmically produced.

Never really found these guys that interesting sadly, but using art from LSD's pretty cool.

Really enjoyed this. It's exactly what I'd expect them to make following This Is All Yours, but since I loved that album, that's a good thing.
