alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Sonny Green have released four studio albums that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed over two and a half billion times.
Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, was followed two years later by their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the UK album chart, debuted at #5 on the Billboard album chart and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize. They have headlined such prestigious venues as the O2 Arena, London and Madison Square Garden, New York, as well as numerous festivals across the globe.
They returned in 2022 with their new album, The Dream. An album where true-crime inspired stories and tales of Hollywood and the Chateau Marmont rub shoulders with some of the band’s more personal moments to-date. Both beauty and darkness lay side-by-side - often seamlessly merging on the same track, a purposeful choice that pays dividends across the record. The Dream is the sound of a band experimenting more than they ever have, recharged and reinvigorated – the twelve tracks make for the fullest sounding alt-J record yet.

alt-J: New Short Film, Single & Album
alt-J today debut the video for '3WW' the opening track from their forthcoming third album 'RELAXER', which will now be released on 2 June in heavyweight vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats. The record is the follow up to their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album 'This Is All Yours', and also features current single 'In Cold Blood'. It was recorded all over London - from Shoreditch to St John's Wood, Crouch Hill to Brixton - with producer Charlie Andrew.
The short film for '3WW' is directed by Young Replicant (AKA Alex Takacs), who has previously made videos for Flying Lotus, Lorde and The xx, and is described by alt-J's Gus Unger-Hamilton as "a beautifully shot story of love and loss in the mountains of Mexico".
alt-J also today launch a new interactive website based upon the cult 90s PlayStation game 'LSD Dream Emulator' that inspired the graphic design of the new record.
alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. 'RELAXER' follows 2014's 'This Is All Yours', and their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut 'An Awesome Wave'.
Between them, the two records have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed more than one billion times. The band - Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green - have headlined festivals across the globe and sold out London's O2 Arena and New York's legendary Madison Square Garden on their last tour. Earlier this month they announced a return to the O2 Arena for a special show on 16 June as part of the venue's 10th birthday celebrations; limited tickets for the show are still available. A number of festival shows are also confirmed for the summer, including Glastonbury Festival, with still more to be announced.
The band today announce a tour of North America for the fall. -
