About
Alt-J recently performed at a Tiny Desk concert, offering a glimpse into their enigmatic music style. The band's mysterious and cinematic lyrics, paired with unique arrangements and drum rhythms, create a captivating experience for listeners. Drummer Thom Green showcased a stripped-down approach, using a tambourine and cowbell instead of traditional cymbals, adding to the band's original sound. Alt-J, formed in Leeds in 2007, consists of Joe Newman, Thom Sonny Green, Gus Unger-Hamilton, and formerly Gwil Sainsbury. Their debut album, "An Awesome Wave," won the 2012 British Mercury Prize, while their second album, "This Is All Yours," topped UK charts. With the recent release of their fourth studio album, "The Dream," Alt-J continues to intrigue and mesmerize audiences with their captivating and unconventional musical style.
