Last week saw the home-coming
performance of ex-Hills Road students and Mercury Prize winners,
Alt-J, at a packed Cambridge Corn Exchange.
Their debut album, An Awesome Wave, was
named BBC Radio 6’s Album of the Year and features more musical
styles than most record collections, with indie-rock leading their
sound along with psychedelia, folk-inflections, dub, alternative pop
and rock.
The academically-minded foursome also
delivers lyrically, with literary and film references dropped in
alongside their personal, often confessional words.
Make sure to catch them next time
they’re playing locally-you don’t want to miss out on their cover
version of a Kylie vs. Dr Dre mash-up.
