Speaking on the process, Joe Newman says, "It gathered momentum on its own, it was best to just get out of its way. The track was written during various soundchecks across the globe, when the band got back to London and heard the recordings they knew it was one of their most dynamic recordings to date. Lead vocalist Newman moves between blissful euphoria and artful restraint, telling a love story through snapshot memories, as the song channels the band's unparalleled experimentation into a song that is underpinned with a raw sense of joy. "U&ME" is a case in point: it is arguably alt-J's most beautiful and honest song to date, unfurling gracefully, with new elements being subtly folded into the mix until a euphoric breakdown cracks through the middle. It is a record that is the sound of a band growing as songwriters and storytellers. The album was created after a period of rest for the band following their seismic world tour in support of previous record RELAXER which saw them perform a global sold out tour including shows at The Hollywood Bowl and the O2 (they had played Madison Square Garden for the previous album This Is All Yours). The Dream is an album of intrigue, beauty, and humanity - a coalescence of everything that has made alt-J a global band with true staying power.
The band's dazzling instrumentation has matured there are still far-out moments, but now they are deployed with artful precision. Both beauty and darkness lay side-by-side - often seamlessly merging on the same track, a purposeful choice that pays dividends across the record. The Dream is an album where true-crime-inspired stories and tales of Hollywood and the Chateau Marmont rub shoulders with some of the band's more personal moments to date. It's an evocative video that recalls summer memories and was inspired by Newman's experiences at a festival in Melbourne.

It’s just like you’d want your workplace to be, balls being thrown around as four legged creatures bolt through the corridors, strategic group huddles around different desks and finishing the day on a windy fire escape with Isabela, the girl who organised the trade. The Pixel Trade was to spend a day in their office observing the little details and watching the characters behind their agency. They own the market when it comes to advertisement and do it in a very intelligent way. Seiden is an advertising agency in New York City which is old school and new school combined into one pumpkin pie. Now I see four beautiful people sitting by the sand with sun flaring into the lens as they drink a cool Carona, sure enough I want that feeling, so I buy a bottle of beer.
That little toy truck that charged across the desert, which was just a sand pit, worked for my little brain at 3 years old. Advertisement to a person changes naturally throughout the entangled course of their life.
