Although This Is All Yours is already up for pre-order, Alt-J haven't revealed any of the creative details behind the record. Apart from a recent interview about their most unlikely celebrity fan (Miley Cyrus), Thom Green, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Joe Newman haven't talked with the press about where, what and why they're recording. They've been almost as coy on Twitter, too. One of the rare comments came in April: "Dusting off an old song we've wanted to work on forever," they wrote. "It's like seeing an old friend after 3 years but he's got a beard and cool tattoos."
