Famously described as "the least alt-J song ever", the story goes that the left-of-field Brits whipped up this semi-growling blues rock number in record time as a bit of an in-joke. But the punchline is that even if it was intended as a piss-take, their atypical approach - complete with daft organ squiggles and barmy, macho lyrics - only enhances the song's swagger. It fires straighter than other tracks on their second album for sure but it's just as subversive. For those that thought the band were too serious for their own good, 'Left Hand Free' shows they can do silly too, and strangely, it suits them.
