The Dream
“Alt-J are a much stealthier band than they’ve often been given credit for. To many they were (and are) a Coldplay sort of thing. A middle class group of white men who play particularly well in America. A band who excel in that forever increasingly unfashionable corner of pop music – ‘ballads’. Soppy bastards. People get married to these songs, for god sake. There’s some truth in there. Alt-J play”
The Dream
“Perhaps Alt-J don’t get enough respect for their creative promiscuity. Joe Newman’s choirboy croon is so distinctive, often cooing an incomprehensible plaint while sparsely arrayed instruments cluck in sorrowful sympathy, that their songs’ ambitions can be unfairly overlooked. There’s nothing as startling on this fourth album as 2018’s impressive sally into hip-hop, Deadcrush remix, but The Dream ”
The Dream
“the revitalised band’s most open-hearted record yet”
