"Every Other Freckle"

BY Josiah HughesPublished Aug 13, 2014

Though they've found few fans in the critical community, British performers alt-J have amassed a huge, worldwide fanbase. With that in mind, there are surely a great deal of people excited about their new song "Every Other Freckle."

The three-and-a-half-minute song opens with multipart harmonies and pummelling drums. Though it sounds like it's building to something, it offers up a strange groove complete with Mumford-esque "Hey!" calls, Black Keys blues grooves and bizarre, experimental arrangements.

Lyrically, the song's got some pretty wild sex talk — the frontman says he wants to "Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet," among many other things. We're blushing.

Listen to "Every Other Freckle" below. alt-J's This Is All Yours arrives on September 22 through Canvasback/Infectious Music.
