alt-J have released their latest preview of their forthcoming album, ‘The Dream’.
Titled ‘The Actor’, it’s the final song to arrive ahead of the album’s release this Friday (11th February).
Speaking about the track, the band explain: “Hollywood, 1982. Another hopeful young movie star arrives in search of The Dream. What follows is a tale of desperation, drugs and death in LA’s most famous hotel. It’s ‘The Actor’.”
