The burden of the phenomenal debut loosely shouldered: Alt-J and their hybrid, Empire sophomore.

Alt-J are a phenomenon. An ostentatiously hip in the name. The key combination on a Mac to create a delta, the fourth Greek letter and therefore the triangle, the simplest geometric shape of the plane, encrypted behalf to carry evidence of time-conscious cleverness and graphic art appreciation. Triangles are my favorite shape, it is not called on Tessellate, driving in the 2012 flower of beauty consensus work An Awesome Wave. And then also all of irgendsoeiner art school and make difficult rubrizierbare contemporary music come somewhere between indie rock and Folktronica. The refusal to hostility of a simpler consumer mechanisms underlying camp, as might force clubs, seems certain.

But bear externals as name only subsequently to Phänomenhaftigkeit at. Alt-J have the contemporary pop world enchants with its clever arranged song structures and their beneficial fresh approach hybrid, to experiment and stereotyped role of free rock music. An Awesome Wave was awarded the Mercury Prize, the most important British music award, which in contrast to Germany's most important fact to a quality Signum, ennobled. The stuff of so much failure was: Suddenly famous, sought after suddenly, suddenly in another world alive.

But here, two years later, are Joe Newman, Gus Unger-Hamilton and Thom Green (Gwil Sainsbury left before the recording of the new album the band) before the world and play and sing us firmly and proudly in front of personalities, love, alien worlds a southern Japanese city. Relentless is a telling attribute.

Alt-J have dedicated themselves to any revolutionary renewal, but a professionalization and expansion of its complex musical style. Organic breathes, vibrates, the sound live on This Is All Yours in every nook and cranny, unite incompatibilities as bells, oriental Geflöte, Southern rock riffs, Miley Cirus samples, British medieval folklore and electronic beat pulses to, and this is the great continuity with the different nature debut, profound world travel to an emotional vitalization.

Joe Newman is obviously serious about his strange pseudo-dialect in his irrlichternden, held in falsetto vocals, gives me no penalty: Just think of the sung pseudo-grammar in the now reconstituted countrymen of WU LYF, or all those new to wrong writing about bands of Alvvays Chvrches to God knows The youth has the naivety and innocence on their side and language as singing should change quietly, even if it initially irritated, especially when singing along.

Alt-J, the phenomenon which modern (up to the lack of understanding), are here in the physical world, unflinching, bold and sublime. Where will we end up with now two such great albums?
