“Hunger of the Pine” is the return single from Alt-J, one of 2012 indie music’s biggest breakouts (winning the Mercury Prize, etc). The new track is of a similar plodding and obtuse ilk as much of debut LP An Awesome Wave but also like that record is buoyed by Alt-J’s penchant for tunefulness and strong writing. This Is All Yours Alt-J’s sophomore release for Canvasback Records is slated for a September 22nd release.
