National Anthem 9,904 Posted December 31, 2014 alt-J (∆) Why don't we already have a thread for this band??? They are super good. Anyone here a fan? I have been aware of them for a few years but actually just got into them through a friend some days ago and they are so great, I'm not sure why I never took much notice to their records in the past. Very great music for relaxing and thinking. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gecko 247 Posted December 31, 2014 They're fantastic, I love Matilda and Breezeblocks! Their last album is not great as "An Awesome Wawe", but I like very much. They're also nominated for some awards... I hope that they win the Grammy awards. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLA to the Moon 137 Posted December 31, 2014 I have to get into this band still. I just started getting into them too. They are supposedly the #1 up and coming band that people want at Coachella 2015, and my friend got to be up close to them at their gig in San Diego this past October. Aaaaah! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delreyfreak 5,341 Posted June 1, 2017 If I wanted to get into their music, which album should I listen to first? Thanks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterSThompson 4,646 Posted June 1, 2017 If I wanted to get into their music, which album should I listen to first? Thanks! Okay, I'm gonna make you a little playlist of my favorites! Listen to: Taro (my personal favorite, and one of their most powerful songs... makes me cry sometimes lol) Adeline (their newest single and quickly becoming a favorite of mine!) Breezeblocks (one of their more popular songs, it's pretty good) Left Hand Free (another popular one!) Every Other Freckle (the lyrics are so funky and the production is stellar) Tessellate (another very popular one like Breezeblocks) Dissolve Me (a feel good song!) Nara (would recommend listening to this once you've already gotten into them, another one of my favorites) Ms (reminds me of summer, kind of like Dissolve Me) Dancing In The Moonlight (a great cover) Hunger Of The Pine (one of my favorites, a classic! Miley Cyrus is sampled in this one ahahaha) Something Good (another classic, one of my favorites as well) The Gospel Of John Hurt (cool production and interesting lyrics) Also Bloodflow Pt. I and II are both great songs about a time one of the band members got mugged. Edit: oMG I am thinking about the lyrics and story behind Taro and it is def. my favorite. Look up the story behind it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok thanks for the list! I love the way that a lot of their titles sound (like, the wording of the titles, if that makes sense) and the cover art has always stood out to me from the albums so I will definitely have to give these songs a listen. Again, thanks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
