7th July 2014

Alt-J are streaming ‘Left Hand Free’, the second track to be showcased from new, second album ‘This Is All Yours’.

The follow-up to the Mercury Prize-winning ‘An Awesome Wave’ is out 22nd September on Infectious Music. It’s headed up by ‘Hunger of the Pine’; a Miley-sampling, triumphant return.

‘Left Hand Free’ is a dusky, funk-spliced (apparently spur of the moment) addition to the record, with Thom Green leading via some uncharacteristically in-your-face vocals.

Listen to ‘Left Hand Free’ below and read DIY’s in the studio feature with Alt-J here.

Alt-J tour the UK this September:

18 Glasgow, Academy

19 Manchester, Apollo

20 Manchester, Apollo (new date)

22 Wolverhampton, Civic Hall

23 Brighton, Centre

24 London, Alexandra Palace
