Preview – Alt J

Bristol O2 Academy, May 10th 2022

Alt-J are on their way Bristol!!!

alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton, and Thom Green have released three studio albums that, between them, have sold more than two million copies and their songs have been streamed over two and a half billion times. Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut AN AWESOME WAVE was followed two years later by their number one, GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album THIS IS ALL YOURS. In 2017, RELAXER reached the UK album chart Top 10, ahead of a summer of major international shows that included a show at London’s O2 Arena and headline performances at numerous festivals and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.

THE DREAM is an album where true crime inspired stories and tales of Hollywood and the Chateaux Marmont rub shoulders with some of the band’s more personal moments to date. Both beauty and darkness lay side by side – often seamlessly merging on the same track; a purposeful choice that pays dividends across the record. The band’s dazzling instrumentation has matured; there are still far out moments but now they are deployed with an artful precision.
