alt-J are set to share another track from their upcoming album.
The trio will release their fourth album ‘The Dream’ on 11th February 2022 via Infectious Music / BMG. The follow up to 2017’s much-lauded third full-length ‘RELAXER’, they’ve already shared debut taster ‘U&ME’, and ‘Get Better’.
They’re set to follow that up on Wednesday with ‘Hard Drive Gold’, track three from the album. In a press release for ‘The Dream’ released last year, it’s described as a “tongue-in-cheek” track about “the hysterical nature of cryptocurrencies”, featuring both vocalist and guitarist Joe Newman yelping “Don’t be afraid to make money, boy”, and an appearance from Gus Unger-Hamilton’s mum, delivered via WhatsApp. Newman describes it as “a little bit like a ‘Left Hand Free’ type of song”, ‘FYI’.
