alt-J share intense video for ‘3WW’
The clip for the band’s new single is pretty damn dramatic.

‘3WW’, alt-J’s comeback single from third album ‘RELAXER’, was “an all-encompassing return, defying expectation at every turn”. Its video, out today, is as dramatic as the track itself.
The clip, set in the mountains of Mexico, spies in on a funeral procession, and it’s all extremely dark. The video was directed by Alex Takacs (Flying Lotus, Lorde, The xx) and is described by the band’s Gus Unger-Hamilton as “a beautifully shot story of love and loss in the mountains of Mexico”.
‘3WW’ was followed up by second single ‘In Cold Blood’ last week, and ‘RELAXER’ is coming out on 2nd June.
alt-J have also today announced North American tour dates for later on this year, adding to a host of UK and European festivals, alongside a London headline show in June at the O2 Arena.
