"Something Good" was the fourth single from An Awesome Wave, the 2012 debut from the English four-piece Alt-J, and Infectious Music released it on September 28 of that year. All four members share the writing credit, Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton, Gwil Sainsbury and Thom Green, and Charlie Andrew produced it.
The video beat the single out by ten days: shot in Los Angeles by Brewer, the sibling directing team of Alex and Ben Brewer, it went up on YouTube on September 18, and in 2013 it earned the brothers a Young Director Award in the Non-European Music Video category. The song kept finding new homes after that, soundtracking a BBC Two "Tent Explorer" ident in 2013 and showing up in Life Is Strange, a video game, in 2015.
