Alt-J

Why see Alt-J?

folktonica kings Alt-j on tour

The first time most people took notice of Alt-J was when their video for single Something Good made a big splash online. A glittering, slow motion portrait of a bullfight was perfectly attuned to the band's trip-hop inflected indie rock. Since then, there was no stopping the quartet, who met at Leeds University in 2007. Their debut record An Awesome Wave won Britain's prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 2012, and spurred on by the success of singles like Breezeblocks and the Leon-inspired Matilda, went on to sell over a million copies worldwide.

Guitarist Gwil Sainsbury departed the group in 2014, but the three remaining members vowed to keep the band together. Their sound is an eclectic blend of influences from folk and indie rock to pop and trip-hop. Personally, though, we think the label 'folktronica' best describes this creative and imaginative band who continue to defy genre expectations. Catch these dynamic musicians live when they perform near you!

Wow.

I’m not even an avid alt-J fan, but I read a review about their live show, and I was intrigued. Going out on a “school night” is always a risk, as I typically go to be early. THIS SHOW WAS WORTH IT, and then some! Weird, beautiful, exhilarating, delightful, intense- are just a few words I’d use to describe the experience. And I’m pretty sure my nervous system was re-wired by the lights- in a good way. I couldn’t stop smiling afterwards. For the first time in a long time, I feel like a cool kid, having gone to that show. ... Read more
