"Dissolve Me" is a deep cut from An Awesome Wave, the debut album the English indie rock band Alt-J released through Infectious in May 2012, and it's a full-band write, credited to Joe Newman, Gwil Sainsbury, Thom Green and Gus Unger-Hamilton. Charlie Andrew produced it.
The singles went elsewhere, to "Matilda"/"Fitzpleasure", "Breezeblocks" and "Tessellate", but the record as a whole carried the band a long way: it took the 2012 Mercury Prize and, the following year, Album of the Year at the Ivor Novello Awards. Even its title has a story behind it, a nod to a line in Bret Easton Ellis's novel American Psycho.
