Okay I 'm going to go ahead and say it, Alt-J is the new Radiohead. I know, I know, how can you compare anybody to the Legend, however if you listen to Alt-J's two albums, start to finish, you will understand why. Both of these bands are musical geniuses. They go outside the box, using different types of instruments, sounds, and tempos etc. Alt-J is an indie rock band from Leeds, England. They released their second studio album called "This is All Yours" this past year. The album is a true masterpiece, not only do I feel incredibly peaceful while listening to it, but I feel the passion and energy they put into each track. Beautifully written and orchestrated, they are serious music gods in my eyes. I feel like if I were a painter, their albums would be constantly on repeat. My creative juices start flowing when I listen to their magical songs.
Now to go back to my earlier reference, much like the legendary Radiohead, Alt-J can be a little weird. However over time I've realized, weird is good, weird is very good. The weird is what sets these artists apart from the mainstream typical rhymes and rhythms, I totally dig it. Dying for the day I can see them live, there must be so much that goes into producing their music.
Much like every other bands I've ever written about, picking a favorite song to share with you is nearly impossible. I would definitely recommend you buy their first and second album, you wont be disappointed! Having said that, today I will share two songs with you, one off their 1st album, and one off their second. Here is "MS" off of "An Awesome Wave", and "Every Other Freckle" off "This is all yours".
Enjoy.
Cheers
