Alt-J released their fourth studio album, The Dream<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, this friday (February 11). This is the first studio album of the band since the release of Relaxer<\/em><\/a><\/strong> in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"Alt-JThe album tells stories about beauty, humanity and intrigue and reflects the growth of the band as composers and storytellers. The Dream<\/em> draws inspiration from real Hollywood and Chateau Marmont crimes, and to some of the band’s most personal moments to this day, where these themes coexist in harmony in the album.<\/p>\n

Beauty and darkness go hand in hand, – often merging perfectly into the same track, a purposeful choice that you can listen to in the entire album. We can also see how the band’s sound has grown: there are, of course, the ethereal moments to which we have been accustomed, but now the group does it with a premeditated artistic precision.<\/p>\n

“This is gonna sound dramatic, but something died on Relaxer and something was reborn on The Dream. We\u2019ve entered a new life cycle”, says <\/em>Gus Unger-Hamilton, in an Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/span> post of the group.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week alt-J released a new track, “The Actor”, inspired by the old Hollywood from the 80s. The track follows the band’s latest releases, “Hard Drive Gold<\/a><\/strong><\/span>“, “Get Better<\/a><\/strong><\/span>” and “U&ME<\/a><\/strong><\/span>“, a portrait inspired by the band’s experiences at summer festivals in Australia.<\/p>\n
