It's as if we have been sleeping for the past three years and now we're awake. 

Alt-J, the indie alternative rock outfit, have been lying dormant but last night they released a brand spanking new single in the way of '3WW'. Hallelujah.

https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/5o5ySYquwQPMucVIMCr29d

The returned sound will be at a tempo much slower than fans are used to but still has interesting storytelling through guitar elements, soft beats and the loaned vocals of Ellie Roswell of Wolf Alice fame.

The track itself will come off their third album, Relaxer, due out June 9 and until then we'll firmly have this one on repeat.
