Alt-J

Guys, does anyone else here like Alt-J?  Because I'm totally obsessed with their album An Awesome Wave these past few weeks.

This is a live performance they did for a Seattle radio station.  I think it includes most of the songs from the album.  I listen to this a ridiculous number of times while working on stuff.

"Breezeblocks" was the first song of theirs I heard, and I love everything about it.  It's quirky and energizing and wistful and rich all at once.
"Fitzpleasure" doesn't interest me so much lyrics-wise, although there's some delightful wordplay in it, but I love the beat and instrumentation so much I can't even tell you.
"Taro" is really gorgeous and sad and transcendent. aliana1, if you're lurking about, you should know that somehow this song immediately reminded me of your 'verse.  =)

alt-j, music
