Just like that alt-J announced plans for their much-awaited fourth studio album “The Dream” and dropped the new single “U&ME“.
Despite being described by the band as their “most honest song to date”, it appears almost nonchalant and laidback in nature, especially when contrasted with the band’s past output. That is not to say a carefree vibe can’t coincide with candour but it feels that the trio have tackled more abstract topics in the past both lyrically and musically.
That being said, not every song needs to come with a PHD course to understand it and “U&ME” rolls out of the speakers with such positive bluster that it is impossible not to savour it.
‘The Dream‘ is due out in February 2022.
