Alt-j Releases New Track ‘left Hand Free’ Because They Know Mondays Can Be Hard Sometimes [stream]

Alt-J – Left Hand Free SoundCloud

Alt-J loves you. They love you so much that they titled their sophomore album This Is All Yours because, it is, in fact, all for you.It’s in that spirit that Alt-J looked upon it’s huddled masses this morning and saw that lo- they were sad that the long weekend was over and they took pity. The newest track is the second teaser for the full length that’s due 9/22, and it’s basically as far from the first release, “Hunger of the Pine”, that a song written by the same group of people in the same basic time frame can get. Where “Hunger of the Pine” is minimalistic, “Left Hand Free” is a traditional rock song, one that sounds far more at home on Alt radio than something that strangely (read: awesomely) samples Miley Cyrus. It’s a chugging, almost blues-y track, that still maintains that experimental Alt-J essence through both little jazz interludes and Joe Newman’s voice. Listen above and silently thank the bevenolance of Alt-J, who gift tracks unto their fans with the greatest of love and the best of timing.
