For the first time in five years, alt-J are back. The group shared a skateboard and pantyhose-filled video for their newest single “U&ME.”
While kick-flipping and cruising, alt-J gets a little supernatural at the skatepark. And no, no one is actually wearing the panty hose on their legs, and instead they put it on their heads and look like goblins. The video is as cool as the song, and the song is a continuation of the band’s cool, electronic sound. The tribal feel of the drums mixed with floating cars and cassettes, and even a bloody mouth, makes the first video to feature the whole band, and one weird trip to the skatepark.
“It’s about being at a festival with your best friends, having a good time, togetherness, and the feeling in life that nothing could be any better than it is right now,” bassist Gus Unger-Hamilton said.

The band also announced their fourth record, The Dream, which will be released on February 11, 2022 via Canvasback / Infectious Music.
alt-J will follow the release with their most extensive North American arena tour to date, along with Portugal. The Man, playing 31 dates throughout the U.S. and Canada. Fans can sign up for early access to tickets on the band’s website.
