The band's 13-track collection will be their first release since shrinking from a four-piece to a trio. Gwil Sainsbury, who co-founded the group in Leeds, left the group in January. Alt-J wrote at the time that it was "purely a personal decision, and as our best friend we support him completely".The band's 13-track collection will be their first release since shrinking from a four-piece to a trio.

Although This Is All Yours is already available to pre-order, Alt-J haven't revealed any creative details behind the record. Apart from a recent interview about who might possibly be their most unlikely celebrity fan – Miley Cyrus – band members Thom Sonny Green, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Joe Newman haven't announced where or what they're recording. They've been almost as coy on Twitter, too, making a rare comment in April: "Dusting off an old song we've wanted to work on forever," they wrote. "It's like seeing an old friend after three years, but he's got a beard and cool tattoos."Although This Is All Yours is already available to pre-order, Alt-J haven't revealed any creative details behind the record.
