The Mercury Music Prize winning-band will compose the soundtrack of Bruce Goodison's new movie: Leave to remain, with the actor Toby Jones.
The plot focuses around a group of teenagers forced to leave their families, friends and homes behind learn to live in yet another hostile country: the UK.
"Learning about these teenagers'experiences for the first time, I struggle to contemplate how they could be cast away from everything familiar to them, plunged into an alien society and expected to build a life. I hope their stories will encourage us to reflect on the country we call home"
Goodison said in a statement.
The director confesses he started to write the script for the movie after listening to their debut LP : " An awesome wave".
"I was immediately charmed by the soulful nature of their music. It felt like the perfect accompaniment to the emotional journey of my characters"
Alt-j (Δ) UK Tour is yet to come May 5th.
