British three-piece Alt-J have officially announced that they have a new album coming out this June after teasing fans with a cryptic video featuring new music. To coincide with the announcement of the forthcoming album, which is titled Relaxer, the band have shared their new single "3WW." The sparse instrumentation builds upon the sounds of the 2014 album This Is All Yours, featuring their signature sound while bringing new elements into the picture.
"3WW" features a guest apperance from Wolf Alice's Ellie Rowsell, who provides vocals during the last minute of the track. If this is an indication of where the band will be headed on their latest album, then they might just release their most interesting studio effort to date come summer. The crisp-sounding track is accompanied by glitchy visuals from the obscure Japanese cult-favorite game LSD: Dream Emulator, which released in 1998 for the Playstation. It should be noted, however, that this is not the official video for the song. It does act as a great visual accompaniment, though, sharing the same style as the cover art for Relaxer, which also uses imagery from LSD: Dream Emulator.
Listen to the track below and look for Relaxer when it releases on June 9.
