Out of all the new musical offerings Alt-J have presented to us as a newly established three piece, 'Every Other Freckle' is by far the most in keeping with where they left off with An Awesome Wave. With that typical slow tempo industrial synth running right through the entire track, at points it feels like you're listening to 'Fitzpleasure' or 'Bloodflood.'
Dissimilar to the very commercial sounding 'Left Hand Free,' which was released by the band last month, this track is oddly assembled, combining folk and electronic elements to conjure up one of their most experimental tracks to date. Although I was really enjoying the new direction Alt-J seemed to be taking on 'Hunger of the Pine' and previously mentioned 'Left Hand Free,' I feel that Alt-J are at their best when they're being a bit weird and spontaneous and 'Every Other Freckle' is exactly that.
