Alt-J - "Hunger of the Pine"


Alternative pop outfit Alt-J drops a new track from their forthcoming LP, This Is All Yours. It’s a moody slow-burning ballad that asks for your patience.

In the final third of the song, I came to realize this is a pretty cerebral piece of music. It asks a lot of the mind’s primeval side, I’d like to think. The song’s hypnotic rhythms and drones speak to something ancient or archaic, and it’s more beautiful for it.

What do you think?
