alt-J – one of the most successful British bands of the millennium – have just released their new single ‘In Cold Blood’, available to stream, download and as an instant grat now via Infectious Music.
“We started writing ‘In Cold Blood’ in our Leeds days and finished it last year in London,” say the band. “The brass was recorded at Abbey Road; the keyboards were done on a Casiotone that cost £1.05 on eBay; and no-one is quite sure where the key change came from.”
‘In Cold Blood’ follows the acclaimed ‘3WW’ as the second song to be lifted from their forthcoming third album Relaxer, which will now be released on Friday 2nd June in heavyweight vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats. The record is the follow up to their number one, Grammy and Brit Award-nominated album This Is All Yours, and was recorded all over London – from Shoreditch to St John’s Wood, Crouch Hill to Brixton – with producer Charlie Andrew for a third time. So look out for that.
