alt-J have announced their fourth album (and first in over four years), The Dream, due February 11 via Canvasback/Infectious Music (pre-order). The first single is "U&ME," which was produced by longtime collaborator Charlie Andrew, and it's a breezy, laid-back song but still with alt-J's unmistakable art rock quirk. It comes with a video directed by band member Gus Unger-Hamilton’s brother, Prosper Unger-Hamilton, and it's actually the first alt-J video to feature the full band. Check it out below.
alt-J have also announced a 2022 arena/amphitheater tour for 2022 with Portugal. The Man, and that tour has additional support from Sir Chloe on the first leg and Cherry Glazerr on the second.
The run with Cherry Glazerr includes the shows in LA (March 27 at STAPLES Center) and NYC (April 11 at Madison Square Garden). Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Friday, October 1 at 10 AM local time with presales beforehand. All dates are listed below.
