Alt-j, a band based in the UK, gained fame in the US quickly after the release of their first album “An Awesome Wave” in 2012.
If you have not already listened to their first album here it is.
This is one of my favorite albums. Listen with headphones all the way through.
It is a highly emotional and beautifully fluid album.
Joe Newman’s lyrics are genius and his band supports his poetic writing elegantly.
I am obsessed. ∆

Although I am familiar with An Awesome Wave, I had never listened to the whole album in one sitting- a very cool experience. With the advantage of youtube, I appreciated a few of the companion videos- the Breezeblock video in particular.

Yea the music videos are intense!! Breezeblocks is a good one. I cannot make it all the way through the music video for “Hunger of the Pine”, which is a song off their new album, its quite bloody.
