Had never heard of them before seeing this post a few days ago. Their album is now in my heavy listening rotation. Thank you Murph!

Love this album.  Also like that Alt-j is the Mac OS short cut for the ∆ (delta sign).  Nerds.  I think they are currently a big deal in the UK and have been nominated for the Mecury Music prize.

They ended up winning it.

I cant understand the lyrics sometimes (especially track 1 which is 1 of my favorites), but the music is just so catchy and gets you entranced.

Another album Im guessing would be in my Top 10 for 2012.

I'm late to Alt-J, having only picked the album up this week.  A nephew (whom I introduced to MMJ) has been pestering me to get it for months.

I think it's an great piece of work - I can definitely see some Radiohead influences in there.  That's no bad thing.  Tickets for their spring tour in the US/Canada seem to be available, but the later UK dates are sold out.  I'm still going to try and check them out, even if it means a resale ticket.

WOW!  just picked up this album.  Some of the vocal affects are a bit much but the music is fantastic.

Long shot, but anyone have extras for tonight or tomorrow in Boston??
