Alt-J have announced the release of their fourth studio album, The Dream, which will be out on February 11, 2022 via Canvasback/Infectious Music. The band has subsequently shared a video for a song from the album titled “U&ME” and have announced an upcoming tour with Portugal. The Man, which is set to begin later this year. Check out the Prosper Unger-Hamilton-directed video for “U&ME” below, along with the album’s cover art and list of tour dates.

“U&ME” was written by the band during various soundchecks across the globe. Frontman Joe Newman explains in a press release: “It gathered momentum on its own, it was best to just get out of its way. We were just there.” Keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton adds: “It’s about being at a festival with your best friends, having a good time, togetherness, and the feeling in life that nothing could be any better than it is right now”

The band’s upcoming tour with Portugal. The Man will also feature appearances by rock bands Sir Chloe and Cherry Glazer. Their most recent album, Relaxer, came out in 2017 via Canvasback.
