“Deadcrush” by Alt J
From the album Relaxer (2017)
“Deadcrush” by Alt J appears on 4 radio countdowns from 3 stations between 2017 and 2026. It was first released in 2017 on the album Relaxer. Its best result is #64 on the WEQX Top 102.7 of 2017. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #179 alternative song of 2017.
"Deadcrush" sits fifth on Relaxer, the third album from British indie rock band Alt-J, and it became the record's fourth single, released digitally on 12 July 2017. The title comes from a game the band played: name the historical woman you'd most like to take on a date if she were still alive, and you've found your dead crush.
Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Sonny Green wrote it, Charlie Andrew produced, and Ellie Rowsell of Wolf Alice lends her voice as a guest. It also landed on the FIFA 18 soundtrack, a long way from a parlor game about dead historical figures.
