Los Angeles – Today, alt-J premiere the video for “Pusher” – the latest track to be lifted from their critically acclaimed album This Is All Yours. Created by renowned collective Division Paris and directed by Thomas Rhazi, the video focuses on a man trying to speak louder to a uninformed society, addressing both freedom of choice, and love and hate.

The concept was imagined by frontman Joe Newman and director Thomas Rhazi. Thomas says: “The original idea was Joe’s. It was about a guy breaking his neck in a very poetic way. We spoke about the British Speaker’s Corners – all those men and women in the late 70′s preaching for their own reasons and beliefs. I wanted this film to be very humanist and as deep and simple as it could be.”

The message that alt-J and Thomas have created is both penetrating and thought provoking: “The hero does the most excessive act because he can’t do anything else – shaking up people’s minds in those dark and sad times”, says Thomas.

alt-J are nominated for two awards at the BRITs 2015: British Group and British Album for their second number one selling LP This Is All Yours, which was also nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards. This Is All Yours debuted at number one in the official U.K. album charts and number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 upon release in September, and has sold in excess of half a million copies. The album contains the singles “Every Other Freckle,” “Left Hand Free” and “Hunger Of The Pine,” and is available to stream and buy in CD, digital and double-vinyl editions.
