Alt-J

Self-styled “folk-step” quartet Alt-J, whose debut LP ‘An Awesome Wave’ is still making er… waves in the wake of its release earlier this year – have confirmed they’ll take a headline tour of nine of our nation’s cities.

If you haven’t yet heard the band’s next single, ‘Tessellate’ (which, according to Alt-J’s Joe Newman was written about “the lingering of an old flame and the physical intimacy shared with that particular individual”, no less), then why not preview it prior to its 16 Jul release via this SoundCloud player:

In keeping with the same Alt-J theme, here’s the playlist that keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton compiled for us but a month ago.

29 Oct: Glasgow, Oran Mor
30 Oct: Norwich, Waterfront
