The Dream by Alt J
The Dream is an album by Alt J, released in 2022. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “U&ME”, on 13 lists with a best position of #13.
The Dream, Alt-J's fourth studio album, landed on 11 February 2022 through Infectious Music, five years after Relaxer. The Leeds band of Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green announced it with "U&ME" in September 2021, then followed it with "Get Better", "Hard Drive Gold" and "The Actor", the second of those arriving with a pixel-art video.
It's still unmistakably them: Newman's odd, nasal croon, Unger-Hamilton's keyboards stacking up the harmonies, rhythms that zig just as you expect them to zag. The singles show the range, from the easygoing lope of "U&ME" to the nervy strut of "Hard Drive Gold", and the record takes its time between them.
