Following the enormous, and somewhat unexpected, success of their debut album, Leeds fourpiece Alt-J have confirmed they’ll begin working on its follow-up over the next few months.
Speaking to the Daily Star recently, the band’s keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton said that they will enter the studio during the summer, with a handful of tracks already in the works. “Some songs have been started and almost finished,” he told the tabloid. “It’s feeling good.”
Unger-Hamilton went on to talk about the relief of finding time to buckle down and starting recording again. “It’s been hard to write on the road because we don’t have access to our instruments,” he continued, before joking: “Maybe we’ll do a Futureheads and make an a cappella album”.
The indie quartet released An Awesome Wave in May 2012, winning the Mercury Prize for it in November.
