Our Take

Alt-J's latest offering, "The Dreamin," is a whimsical journey through the eccentric minds of the band's members. The album opens with the dreamy track "Daydreamer," which evokes images of floating in a sun-drenched field surrounded by colourful butterflies. The band's signature blend of electronic beats and intricate harmonies is on full display here, creating a lush sonic landscape that envelops the listener in a warm embrace.

"The Dreamin" takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from the bittersweet nostalgia of "Memories" to the infectious energy of "Magic Hour." Each track is a meticulously crafted gem, with layers of shimmering synths and ethereal vocals that transport the listener to a dreamlike state.

Alt-J's lyrics are as enigmatic as ever, weaving tales of love, loss, and longing with a poetic touch that is uniquely their own. The album's standout track, "Wishful Thinking," is a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to tug at the heartstrings with their poignant storytelling.

Overall, "The Dreamin" is a captivating listen that cements Alt-J's status as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the industry. With its dreamy atmospheres and infectious melodies, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who dares to take the plunge into Alt-J's surreal world.
