Back after roaming in the desert for what seemed like 400 years, one of our favorite music-fans slaked our thirst for some new music (thanks Haznah).  Check out Alt-J, the smarty-pants band from Cambridge, England, and a couple of performances of their very catchy song, Tessellate.  We’re just getting a feel for the band, but Alt-J smacks of suave alt-pop that blends shimmering synths, hip hop metrics and smooth vocal harmonies.  Reminds a bit of some of the old stalwarts, such as Blue Nile, but updated well.  Alt-J released its first album, An Awesome Wave, on June 5th, which you can stream in its entirety HERE.  Check out two winning live versions of Tessellate below.  As a bonus check out the official video for their song, Breezeblocks at bottom.
