I love it when they reminisce on the KEXP show when they played the entire first album. It's hard to believe it's nearly 10 years, that performance is absolutely special and I come back to it regularly. So glad to hear the new material and see them still going strong.
There is something very nostalgic about this to me. I've put these KEXP Alt-J sets on to jam out to while I clean my home or get through emails for years. I love them! Of course, with it being a few years since the last one, I've completely rinsed the other videos. To see this band blossom and continue thriving, but always returning to KEXP with the same gentleman interviewing them makes my heart so full. I love it!
Such a shame the guitar is out of tune at the beginning, hence his expression and then retune quickly once the keys kick in at 1:30. absolutely love the new album!
Jeeze. That performance of Chicago was beautiful. So interesting to hear them do it without the drums. However, I'd love to have seen Thom on here. I understand not having him on some of the smaller radio stations, but for a KEXP set? Come on! Still such a treat.
From start to finish, I loved, loved, loved this...I'm going to add this new to all the previous altj and just endulge. The music puts me in another place everytime. Thank you for your extreme talents and sharing them.
Saw them for the 3rd time in Chicago this year.. I was the one wearing the "Alabama Hat" in the front row. What an Epic show!! this band is revolutionary & only individuals with good taste in music know of them
Nice, was just listening to Hunger of the Pine yesterday, reminding my teens how they used to think it was “Hunk of porcupine” and “I’m a female gerbil” instead of “I’m a female rebel.”
To be quite honest… this is just really one of their worst performances of all time. You can clearly see that they keep losing track of the tempo and something just seems off about them. I have a feeling if the drummer would’ve been there to hold up “backbone” for lack of better words, it could’ve been a great performance. So, what I’m saying basically is that they seem sort of lost because their drummer is missing and they probably didn’t have much time to rehearse. You hear them asking each other which song to play even. That says it all. This wasn’t planned at all and they were put on the spot. I could be wrong, but it just sounds like a last minute thing.
this is fine, but this arrangement would work better on nearly any of the other tracks from the album. happier when youre gone, get better and Philadelphia wouldve been better showcases but i guess since theyre not singles. also matilda wouldve been a better callback with a deeper cut.
U&Me - 0:35
Hard Drive Gold - 3:56
Chicago - 6:58
Tessellate - 9:55
Thanks

man changed them strings and didnt check the tension and tunning prior to the gig; nothing lost, just another quality of live performance

Still such a treat.
god that voice is unreal
OMG. I sub this channel for the Alt J performance 9 years ago, their music taste as good as before T.T
Me too! 🙌
Same here brooooo
This is a favorite you tube alt j video. Gus and Joe compliment each other so well.
they are such kind and warm souls this two
i was hoping that they play Get Better and Powders :') I love so much their voices and the lyrics they put into this band!!

Mi banda favorita, alt j ❤️
They are so awkward and I love it

Would never expect that was the man with that voice.
his voice suited how he looked more before he put on weight and grew a beard, IMHO
Saudades desses meninos! Eu no auge dos 42 anos apaixonada de novo ❤️💘🇧🇷
I just saw them live in Toronto a few days ago, it was amazing I love them so much!! I've had Matilda stuck in my head for days. They're SO GOOD live
From Toronto as well.
Where were they performing?
Damn, can't believe I missed it!! T.T
@@shernerdaz yeah they performed on the 17th! I really want to see them live again, they were amazing. really worth it
Love that song! I got a tattoo I designed of a grenade pin with a tag on it that says “from: Mathilda”
this performance is hard-drive gold!!
Kevin Cole is one of the best interviewers there are! Love it!
I didn't even notice the slip up at first, I like that, during u & me😊
Meu Deus que incrível!!!!!!! Vocês dois são sensacionais!!!! Alt-J no Brasil, pleaseeeeee ❤
What a treat! Thanks KEXP and Alt-J!
Damn awesome to see these guys on here
Love this band
So good
This arrangement of Tesselate is so good! 😭
they both geniuses and making an art
Love this band!!
I lovee alt j
A most excellent band 😊❤️🌹
Seeing them for the 10th year anniversary concert In Brixton on the 17th, can’t wait!
I was at the concert when they were in town for this recording and it was incredible
fantastic
Love it! I feel like they are heading in some particular direction musically and i really dig it
The singing the voice is epic really amazing talent and gifted like the great mother blessed them
Absolutely stunning 💜
I really dig these guys! Great 👍 job!
I'm so happy, you're coming in Georgia 🇬🇪 🎉🎉🎉
Where is Thom Sonny-Green? In need of the syncopated drums
😭😭😭 i love them so much
Nice show and interview.
Alt-J was _definitely_ my pandemic find.
Same here!
@@jamesgreen17 They could use this for promo purposes:
All J* s agree: "Alt-J is the pandemic band for me!"
Merci .)
Nice, was just listening to Hunger of the Pine yesterday, reminding my teens how they used to think it was “Hunk of porcupine” and “I’m a female gerbil” instead of “I’m a female rebel.”
@Elizabeth Hawkins....lol, love that story! Thanks for sharing.
Aahaha probably one if the misquoted bands ever
They sound like great lyricists
Thanks KEXP!
Люблю вас! ❤️
hope they record the show where they play awesome wave in full and load it to their channel
Gus' vocals have really added something to it
Here before everyone finds this beautiful video 😄
How did this slide under my radar!!
Good god. my boy has been eating more cake than me.
This version of Chicago 🥺
yay
AmaZing!!!
Let's gooooo
come to Barcelona or Tarragona please
Niceee 🔥🔥
Ready?
{sprong}
Ooops.
Hey Taro!
10 years ago and now don't show any diff
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Nice pipes Tamika
So groovy.
gus holding it down.
Where was Thom?
Still love these guys but they would be a lot better if they got their old bassist back. He contributed so much to their creativity.
I'm always drinking when he says "you know.."
Please tour with pinback
Δ❤️
Peep that Teddy Fresh shirt on Joe!
Anyone know what guitar he's rocking?
Awesome simplicity - reminds me of the Presidents of the United States.
They really haven’t changed much in 10 years
What happened with the rest of the band?
is your left hand free ?
what happened to the drummer?
am i the only one a bit disappointed by the production/mix of this ?
I’m with you but tbh I think his guitar was pretty out of tune in the first track
first production rule: you can't turn bad tracks into good tracks
@@gabrieledalena9142 hahaha that's true but in this case I think they just haven't figure out how to play these tracks acoustically/with no drums etc
slightly taken aback by the first minutes too
I guess it's purposely stripped back. You want the big show production and album versions gobto the shows
wheres the drummer these days ?
Is it me or this 0:46 look kind of means "oops, out of tune" ? Why wouldn't they stop and take 5s to tune it back ?
Don't these things go out live to air? It's basically a live concert. The show must go on.
The struggles of performing live, the guitar out of tune in the first 2 minutes and singing out of tune around minute 6
this vocal can't be Joe Newman is it?
Yes, he is…
@@jimmyadaro brother went through some transformation

Yeah i agree. I saw them live last march and it was great. This performance does not do them justice. 😭
Um. Where's sonny
Im going to see them live in july, I hope to get something better than this haha
Full band I hope
Joe is +40pounds ! What happened ?
this is fine, but this arrangement would work better on nearly any of the other tracks from the album. happier when youre gone, get better and Philadelphia wouldve been better showcases but i guess since theyre not singles. also matilda wouldve been a better callback with a deeper cut.
😊 did you step in 💩? I would think they would have cleared Away an avenue wide poo free zone to your limousine
Can't help but feel like they aren't feeling the music anymore
Not nice. How about you walk a mile in their shoes instead of judging.
@@jwinter1123 I'm an artist too. Sometimes you're just burnt out. Part of the process
@@user-jz6tb8fx8s
Fair enough. I’m a biologist and may not understand the process. Just always appreciated the band.
I'd like to make a crypto video set to this song.
Too much chat
pffffffffffft
tfw u peeked in 2013
Soft
They're soooo British lols
Adam Sandler
Love the band, but this time sounds terrible 🤮 / 💔
ya mum sounds terrible too when she got me willy
I disagree
I love Alt-J but close your eyes and Hard Drive Gold could be a Flight of the Conchords song
