After winning the Mercury Prize in 2012 with their debut album An Awesome Wave, Joe Newman [vocals, guitar], Gus Unger-Hamilton [vocals, keyboards, bass] and Thom Sonny Green [drums, percussion] made the Grammy-nominated This Is All Yours (2014) and followed it with Relaxer (2017).
The Dream, alt-J’s fourth album, began life on schedule when the band first regrouped at their own studio, a rented house in east London. Navigating Covid as it arrived and hung around – with Green shielding throughout the pandemic and often working remotely, The Dream was recorded from August 2020 until June 2021 with long-time producer Charlie Andrew. What emerged was a record of intrigue and ambiguity that fizzes with a rejuvenated sense of experimentalism.
