The Mercury Prize-winning band alt-J have shared their new track “Get Better,” the second glimpse into their forthcoming album The Dream, set for release on February 11, 2022 via Canvasback/Atlantic. “Get Better” is the stirring centerpiece of The Dream, and one the band’s most emotionally resonant songs to-date. alt-J peel away the dense layers of sound that they are known for, leaving lead singer Joe Newman’s vocal next to a plaintive solo guitar and harmonies from bandmate Gus Unger-Hamilton.

The single arrives alongside an animated music video, made by Hamburg-based award-winning pixel artist Stefanie Grunwald. Since 2016, Grunwald has quickly gained recognition for her detailed nighttime animations, which caught the eye of Newman and led to the collaboration.
