alt-J are Joe Newman [guitar/vocals], Gus Unger-Hamilton [keyboards] and Thom Green [drums], whose debut album An Awesome Wave received widespread critical acclaim after its release in 2012. The New York Times called the band’s sound “a handsome alloy of dry acoustic timbre and reverberant effect, suggesting a very British convergence of texture-minded electronic music and psychedelic folk.” The album won the Mercury Music Prize in November 2012, was nominated for 3 Brit Awards , and reached NPR‘s Album of the Year, iTunes Alternative Breakthrough Album of the Year and numerous top 10 lists. It has now sold over one million copies world-wide and has been streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify.
