British keyboard shortcut memorizers alt-J won Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize with their debut album, 2012's An Awesome Wave. This means there are bound to be hefty expectations for the follow-up, which is called This Is All Yours and will arrive September 22 via Canvasback/Infectious Music.
This is the band's first album since bassist Gwil Sainsbury left the band this year, and it's already available to pre-order right here. As you'd expect, it's available digitally, on CD and on vinyl.
Peruse the tracklist below. As you can see, there are a few tracks with "Nara" in the title (perhaps referring to the Japanese city). There's also one with an unpronounceable symbol. That's of course the colourful album art above.
Once the record is out, the band will spend the fall touring in North America. This includes Canadian stops in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. See the schedule below.
This Is All Yours:
1. Intro
2. Arrival in Nara
3. Nara
4. Every Other Freckle
5. Left Hand Free
6. ❦ Garden of England
7. Choice Kingdom
8. Hunger of the Pine
9. Warm Foothills
10. The Gospel of John Hurt
11. Pusher
12. Bloodflood pt.II
13. Leaving Nara
