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. =)
