alt-J today announced their second album, This Is All Yours to be released on September 22nd via Infectious plus an European extensive tour.
Their previous album An Awesome Wave was met with great reviews and the band quickly became a festival favorite back in 2012. The band was also awarded the Mercury Music Prize.
While little is known about the album, except the cover art and the track list, it's definitely a sophomore album to look forward to. While we wait for the first single to get released, below is a short interview from a few months back with the band talking about the recording process.
The new single has been released, titled Hunger of the Pine. Listen below
Updated with pre-order link and actual album cover

You’re welcome;)
Added!
Such a good song. I even love the Miley Cyrus sample, which is not a sentence I ever thought I’d see myself writing!
Well this new song didn’t grab me as much as Hunger of The Pine, but maybe it’s a grower.
I agree, though considering they claim to have wrote it “in about 20 minutes” its really not that bad…

Didn’t know that, it’s quite funny actually, and the cliched drums, exactly…
Nice read, thank you! :)
I don’t know what to expect from this, but i’m really excited! Hunger Of The Pine is definetely a grower (and the good one), but i didn’t really like Left Hand Free. :(
All I can say is that from the very first time I heard Alt-J I was in love. I cannot wait to hear more music from this amazing group! Hype this album please!!!!!
I can’t wait!
“Hunger of the Pine” is one of the year’s best songs!
Well, Alt-J right now compose about my life-period. Hunger of the Pine is about pain from wretchedness. Left Hand Free is about.. Well, masturbation – in the meaning “I am your chosen one, so I dont need anyone else”. Excite.
Alt-J to unveil new song ‘Every Other Freckle’ this Wednesday (August 13).
Too stoked for this
“Every Other Freckle” was a step up from “Left Hand Free” — I think the rest will be spectacular.
Can’t wait
