alt-J have shared the second track to be taken from their brand new album ‘Relaxer’. Titled ‘In Cold Blood’, it follows up on the Ellie-from-out-of-Wolf-Alice-featuring ‘3WW’, that dropped earlier this month.
‘In Cold Blood’ was premiered on Misterjam’s BBC Radio 1 show earlier this evening. “We started writing ‘In Cold Blood’ in our Leeds days,” the band explain, “and finished it last year in London. The brass was recorded at Abbey Road; the keyboards were done on a Casiotone that cost £1.05 on eBay; and no-one is quite sure where the key change came from.”
‘Relaxer’ is set to drop on 2nd June, with the band headlining London’s O2 Arena on 16th June as part of a 10th anniversary series of shows for the venue.
