In stark contrast to the many and massive sounds contained on their captivating first album, An Awesome Wave, new Brit band Alt-J showed up on a bench up on Montmartre on a Take Away Show and played songs Matilda and Dissolve Me.  We love the winning, spare delivery featuring only a glockenspiel, two acoustic guitars and a malleted snare.  The result is rightful focus on the lyrics and the group’s superb harmonies (on Dissolve Me, starting at 3:46 and especially at 5:40 and after–the song reminds of Noah and the Whale).  They’re new on the scene, but already you can tell:  this band is here to stay.  Vive le Alt-J!
