I found them in 2015 with the album, An Awesome Wave. I wish they would've became mainstream with that record rather than Relaxor or whatever it's called. They are like night and day. Glad you found them. Go check out their concert on KEXP on RUclips. Sounds exactly like the record. And it came out 10 years ago…!
New to this band...These guys are awesome...proof that contemporary techno stuff can be a great vehicle for some amazing ancient Celtic Highlands rhythmic chant-like sounds to come through...totally talented and gifted band! Vocals and instrumentals are quite good! Would sure like to experience them live!
This is contemporary nothing and its definitely not techno. this is music. not noise. if you told any loop artist nice techno machine, youre gonna get punched in your techno mouth. id be really pissed if my music was described like that. Now dont be a small mind and get defensive. Thats stupid. Just skip that and go right to ok i hear and respect that as its not described anywhere by the band members or fans as you did, so instead of labeling and boxing up their talent let their sound be heard by minds not conditioned incorrectly and ignored and so lost the chance to experience this beautiful energy.
yes i love their intentional strange vocal sounds some call singing but i feel like it should have a name of its own, what it is they do with music, is theirs, they literally own the energy their sounds create which is something just above music. so in many more words, exactly what you said lol
Why would somebody ever thumb this down? Because the concert should have been longer or 'cause they left out some good songs? Because the ultracool blonde bass/ guitar player gwil left the band every single musician wants to be in??? I don't know that's why I liked the video :3
yes yes exactly. i will come and well i dont cook and i dont do the women and men rolls so im not going to clean up after them either so yea i guess ill come be like a real friend and just have an infinite backstage pass and make every human have the opportunity to hear them at least once and then their bucket list is a bit more complete
Im surprised someone hasnt taught a bit of mic technique to the singer, he is right on top of the mic the whole time so when he goes into lower register its just not heard in the mix enough, a problem Ive seen with lots of their live shows. cool show though.
Давно и с удовольствием слушаю этих ребят. Но сдерживал себя, чтоб посмотреть видео. Почему-то думал, что мне не по душе придется их облик.)) Зря. Ребята выглядят 100% натуралами, даже серег не заметил в ушах. Это реально круто!
I've loved Alt J since the beginning but maybe I'm confused... This appears to be only 2 of the four original members... Am I correct in that or am I mistaken?
"Quela, Quela" and from rock.genius.com/Alt-j-bloodflood-pt-ii-lyrics : "Red-billed queleas are the most populated wild bird species in the world, though only living in Africa. A flock of them may symbolize a bloodflood due to their abundance and red color of their bills. The quelea is also previously mentioned in the song ‘Pusher’ quite prominently."
Horrible! There live performances arent that good. I got hooked by there music videos, then came to the live and wasnt impressed! Nails on a chalk board
Some of their newest ones are better in terms of vocals, like this set from 2017: ruclips.net/video/svrDD4zsZuI/видео.htmlsi=K2q8Nz4zbibe_s4J , I also don't generally like the sound quality on this video even in comparison to others, the drums are a bit too loud, especially compared to the synths and guitar, which care more central to their sound. Quite a rare setlist to find a video of though so that's nice at least.

They are getting better and better!
These guys are awesome... ALT-J keep on like this ,we need your music!
Really happy that I stumbled across Alt+J
I love this group❤️
The most unique an revolutionary music I have heard! I love you Alt J :) oxoxo

I don't know that's why I liked the video :3
I'm seeing them in a week :3 I literally cannot wait!
Nice! I envy you. Just discovered them a month ago and they are my fav band of the decade already.
pranath sisodiya They're great! What's your fav song? :3
I would say "Intro" of This is all Yours. Starting to like the minimalistic music these days. Do you listen to Phillip Glass?
No, I don't, but I'll make sure to give him an ear :) pranath sisodiya
You should. What's your fav Alt J song?
Brilliant.
Like I just wanna be their friend.
yes yes exactly. i will come and well i dont cook and i dont do the women and men rolls so im not going to clean up after them either so yea i guess ill come be like a real friend and just have an infinite backstage pass and make every human have the opportunity to hear them at least once and then their bucket list is a bit more complete
So good

cool show though.

3 of the 4. The drummer far right is the same
Common this is 64kbits/s audio or what ?
No set list yet. Please!
Marche de mille souliers soulignent l'effet Pon même à Baltimore là où sont les fish celles qui font o...
"Pick a petal meinemoawmoe" 😂
anyone knows what he says at the end of Bloodflood Pt.2 ? from 28:31-29:01
"Quela, Quela"
and from rock.genius.com/Alt-j-bloodflood-pt-ii-lyrics :
"Red-billed queleas are the most populated wild bird species in the world, though only living in Africa.
A flock of them may symbolize a bloodflood due to their abundance and red color of their bills.
The quelea is also previously mentioned in the song ‘Pusher’ quite prominently."
Quela is mentioned in the lyrics. But he says something else along side the band. Thanks for the information you provided!
@@aviadc150 it varies from performance to performance, there is no set correct lyric for that part
@@jasonglasser1621 I once turned up the volume all the way. Upon listening I realized that perhaps it has a different meaning for everyone.
Set list anyone? Please share
Carofine Caroline it's in the description
FinalApocalypse thank you! My mom always tells me I "never look properly" I guess she is right. Yikes!
They have a strange sound...
ignoring the occular pleasure centers they play.
Horrible! There live performances arent that good. I got hooked by there music videos, then came to the live and wasnt impressed! Nails on a chalk board
