RELAXER Vinyl Record

Story

RELAXER is the third studio album from alt-J, and the first to heavily feature the London Metropolitan Opera. The record picks up where 2014's iThis Is All Yours left off with virtuosic, weird, and at times choir-like vocals from guitarist Joe Newman and keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton framed by Thom Green's snare-forward hip-hop work behind the drum kit. RELAXER's absorption of different musical styles, restraint, and intimate production choices makes for a particularly rich listen on headphones. The Mercury Prize nomination it received in 2017? Well deserved.

About alt-J

Formed at Leeds University in 2007, alt-J is one of the UK's quirkiest indie rock exports. After their 2012 debut album hit big across Europe and the US behind genre-warping single "Fitzpleasure", the band launched two more well-received records and a series of world tours. The band's trophy case includes a British Mercury Prize for their debut album and a Grammy nomination for sophomore effort This Is All Yours.
