The Dream (Violet Gatefold LP)

The Dream is an album of intrigue, beauty and humanity - a coalescence of everything that has made alt-J a global band with true staying power. True-crime inspired stories and tales of Hollywood and the Chateau Marmont rub shoulders with some of the band's most personal moments to-date The album was created after a period of rest for the band following their seismic world tour in support of previous record RELAXER. It is a record that is the sound of a band growing as songwriters and storytellers.

alt-J are one of the most successful British bands of the millennium. Joe Newman (vocals, guitar), Gus Unger-Hamilton (keyboard) and Thom Green (drums) have released three studio albums that, between them, have sold in excess of two million copies and their songs have been streamed more than one billion times. Their 2012 Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Award-winning debut An Awesome Wave, was followed two years later by their GRAMMY and BRIT Award-nominated album This Is All Yours. Released in 2017, RELAXER flew straight into the top 10 of the album charts and became their second album to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
