Alt-J have opened up about a new track 'Left Hand Free' - expressing their thoughts that it could well be adopted by the NRA in the US.
Discussing the unconventional track with The Guardian, the band called it 'the least Alt-J song ever', adding that it started around 'a joke riff'.
Drummer Thom Green said: "I tried to make the drums as cliched as possible, there's none of my personality in it". Newman adds: "And I say, 'Gee whizz', which I'm not sure is a phrase I've ever uttered before. I can imagine it appealing to American truckers with Good Riddance To Bin Laden stickers!"
Keyboard player Gus Unger-Hamilton added: "Oh God… Someone's going to walk onstage to it at an NRA convention."
This Is All Yours will be released on 19 September. The band will also tour in September 2014. See dates and ticket details below.
