The new heroes of intelligent alt-rock, Alt-J impress with other-worldly music that references films and geometry with surprising grace. Intriguing debut album An Awesome Wave won a coveted Mercury music prize and the accolade of 6 Music's Album of the Year for its multi-textural tracks - ranging from the bhangra-inspired Taro to the piano-heavy melody of Tessellate.
Formerly known as Daljit Dhaliwal and (unsurprisingly considering their regular subject matter) Films, alt-J graduated from the ranks of BBC Introducing to produce experimental yet hugely accessible pop songs. Be entranced by the beginnings of folk-step as these Cambridge boys continue their dominion.
