Hyped British indie band ALT-J presents their new single Hunger Of The Pine. It’s the first musical teaser off their just announced upcoming second album This Is All Yours.

Hunger Of The Pine is a slow grooving and atmospheric piece of ALT-J at their best. And it also samples MILEY CYRUS. Yes, indeed. Spot her right here.
