Listed amongst the ‘up and coming’ and ‘bands to watch’ by countless critics across the globe, the debut Australian tour for alt-J (∆) has been announced that will see the band tour down under next month.
Their unique band name ∆ is pronounced ‘alt-J’, named after the keystrokes required to make the symbol on a Mac computer. The symbol represents change in mathematical equations and suitably the name was sprouted at a turning point in the band members’ lives.
Broadly classed as art rock but taking in the influences of everything from trip-hop, folk music, electronic and post-rock, alt-J (∆) have created a genre of music that is uniquely their own.
alt-J (∆)’s appropriately titled debut album An Awesome Wave (out now through Liberator Music) takes listeners on a journey that ebbs and flows through thirteen hypnotic tracks.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see why this four-piece have caught the attention of countless critics and music lovers across the globe.
