Alt-J - An Awesome Wave (1 Viewer)

[Jim Daniels]

Took a few listens, but I can now confirm that I really like An Awesome Wave by Alt-J.

And they're from Leeds - just like the Wedding Present!

Saw them live recently.

It's really a lovely record.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Yeah, I still like it and can see them improving too.

What are they like live? Probably going to see them next May

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

They're understated. Like the record.
Dude has quite the acrobatic voice.

A short friendly set, like you get with most first timers.

I was into it, I don't think a lot of people there had heard the record.

I imagine this will have changed by the time you see them. Might make for more enthusiasm.

 

[rettucs]

they sound a bit shit

will try again

 

[Jerry Twig]

They should be shot for that band name

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Pitchfork gave it a 4.8, so clearly it's not for everyone.

 

[dudley]

horrible

First Mercury Prize winner I've never heard of. I'm not sure do I just feel old, or kinda glad. Probably both actually.

 

[ann post]

i listened to the first tune there.

i cant be the only person who hears this

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Sounds absolutely shit to me. And I wanted to like it.

 

[Jill Hives]

Never heard of him/them but I dig it. Then again, I like odd male vocals.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm gonna have a listen and settle the matter

 

[rettucs]

I'm gonna have a listen and settle the matter

hurry up, I need to know

Saw them on Jools last week. Thought it was immensely annoying.

 

[hugh]

And that's saying something for Jools Holland ...

They're no Goat, put it that way.
