"The new sonic territory they've staked out here and the mystery in their lyrics just reminds me of why I love this band so much."– NPR

"'3WW' showcases how much alt-J has matured musically since their debut five years ago and their ability to go platinum despite their non-traditional song structure."– Rolling Stone  

alt-J have released a new video for "3WW," the first song released from their upcoming album, RELAXER. The video was directed by Young Replicant. Watch it here.

The video for "3WW" follows the lead single, "In Cold Blood," which was released last month.

The band have headlined festivals across the globe and sold out London's O2 arena and New York's Madison Square Garden on their last tour.

alt-J are an alternative band from the UK, formed in 2008 by four friends who met at Leeds University. Having forged their own unique sound combining elements of electronic, folk and guitar music, the band recorded and released their debut album An Awesome Wave in 2012. Critically lauded, An Awesome Wave won the Mercury Music Prize, an Ivor Novello 'Album Award' for songwriting and three BRIT award nominations. The album has now gone platinum in the UK and sold over 1,000,000 albums worldwide.

Their second album This Is All Yours was released in September 2014 to rapturous acclaim, heading straight to no.1 in UK chart, no.4 in the US Billboard chart and subsequent top 10 positions in the majority of Europe. Now a three-piece, the band continue to excel as a genre-defying act, receiving nominations for 'Best Alternative Album' at The Grammys 2015 and 'Best British Group' and 'Best Album' at The BRIT Awards 2015, as well as selling out the 02 and Madison Square Garden Arenas.

The band's third album, Relaxer, is set for release June 2, 2017.
