Alt-J (often identified by the symbol ∆), is a band that was formed at Leeds University in 2007. Their name suggests something of a more electronic nature, and their sound does as well…but this group is more rock in nature than that. It’s also more everything else. An Awesome Wave is their debut album, released after the members had left school. You’ll find lots of different elements to keep you happy here…plenty of guitar, along with some nice hip hop beats. Great sounding keyboards, and intriguing vocals to go along with a great set of lyrics. Alt-J shows that right out of the gate, they were not afraid to put it all out there on their sleeves and be just who they are. And it works magnificently. An Awesome Wave is a breathtaking work. Sonically, musically, lyrically, this is an album that has something for everyone, and it’s all done extremely well.
“Breezeblocks”, “Matilda”, “Tesselate” and “Handmade” are the best tracks here, but everything else is worthwhile as well. Joe Newman’s vocals seem strange at times, but his voice fits perfectly. An Awesome Wave takes chance after chance, and succeeds time after time with beautiful results. This album grooves, rocks, and moves you with seemingly little effort. It’s a fine and underrated work, and deserves more attention than it receives. Rock is dead? As of 2012 and An Awesome Wave, I don’t think so…it’s just not the rock your parents understood. Their second album, 2014’s This Is All Yours, fared even better, and while there isn’t anything on the horizon so far, expect more good things from Alt-J (they did release a live album from Red Rocks in 2016). A band worth checking out, and worth looking to the future for. [First added to this chart: 01/15/2017]
