When I first heard alt-J on Spotify, I was intrigued but unconvinced. I don't know why. Up until then, I had only heard "Nara", "Hunger of the Pine", and "Every Other Freckle", and found that they were catchy and fit under my Indie music tastes. I saved the whole album to my music on Spotify and took a listen to a few other songs. As I kept listening to more Indie music, I found myself coming back to those three songs in particular.
Their sound is addicting as much as it is amazing. I haven't heard of them until recently, and holy cow, their music is raw. They speak to you even if you don't know it yet. I think I'll be an alt-J fan for a very long time.
Second of all, I can never understand the lyrics or what they're saying half the time; but, for all I care, this whole album could be instrumental and still sound good. I'd still buy it. It's not until you look up the lyrics that a whole new meaning is unveiled, and you begin to understand the depth of the lyrics even if you don't think you do. There's something relatable for everyone.
