i love both Alt-J and Mumford and Sons. i love Mumford and Sons' rendition of Tessellate, especially how you can still hear their sound in it.... ughhh.. to die for.
l am not an Alt j 's fun I thing they're a very very interested band and they are really smart persons but The only song of them that really talk to my soul is "Matilda" and maybe I prefer the W. A.'s version! Sorry
I hate that people are saying mumford and sons stripped this song. No they didn't. They're just doing a cover of it IN THEIR OWN STYLE. Alt j and mumford and sons are very different. they're both amazing bands. Not one band did a better job than the other.
Walter White I can't agree... yet ! They're wonderful musicians, but still not so great on live presence. What makes an epic song evolve is live improvisation, feeling the moment, not just recite it like good poetry. I'm waiting hard to see them 5 years away from now for full eargasm.
there's no way mumford and sons cover this song better than alt-j , they own this song and an awesome wave flows perfectly. mumford and sons do an amazing job though. :)
Both versions of this song are amazing! I love both Alt-J and Mumford and Sons and this one is just as good as the original. Although the original maybe a little better, I still like this version.
I died when i realized my favorite band covered an Alt-J song because two greatness make an incredible cover wow pls dont ever stop making music Alt-J or Mumford & Sons!
"Three guns and one goes off Ones empty, ones not quick enough One burn, one red, one grin Search the graves while the camera spins" Is this a reference to the final scene from The Good, the bad and the Ugly? For anyone who hasn't watched it, basically Blondie, Tuco and Angel are in a three way duel where the last man standing would claim the gold. Blondie shoots Angel and Tuco discovers that his gun wasn't loaded and is humiliated. They then search the graves and find the gold. Seems to fit perfectly with these lyrics.
most likely it is, the band members have talked about movies inspiring a lot of their music. their song Matilda is about a character from Leon: The Professional
At the time this was recorded, Alt-J were still gaining the steam needed to achieve the status they enjoy now. They got a stinging review from Pitchfork, and nobody, including Mumford & Sons seemed to care. Artists should always support each other in this way. Well done.
This cover is so amazing! I adore this song, is something so out of common. Both are one of my favourites bands for sure. It' d be perfect if they collab on a new one. So differente styles, but as well as tallented
Wowwww this cover is absolutely beautiful 💜 i love the original but far out Marcus just made this song for me!!! His voice suits it soo much!!! Love you Mumford and Sons xx
One amazing band, covering another equally talented and yet completely differently band, to create something beautiful. I too prefer the original version, but you cannot deny that what Mumford and Sons did with it is truly fantastic.
my favorite band covering my favorite song from alt-j. it's great. covers are supposed to be their own perspective of the song, and I think Mumford did really good on that.
This is one of the best covers I've heard of an Alt-J song.
one of? have any others to recommend?
Rasmus Söderström Elle Goulding’s cover is outstanding!
Wolf Alice's
matilda
No
Emma louise does a great one as well
i love both Alt-J and Mumford and Sons. i love Mumford and Sons' rendition of Tessellate, especially how you can still hear their sound in it.... ughhh.. to die for.
finaly, I can distinguish the words :D love alt-j, love mumford and sons what a time to be alive
His voice suits this song so much!
mumford and sons + alt-j = heaven
No "love" react here, so "thumbs up" will have to suffice.
I'm a HUGE Mumford fan and, because of this cover, I started listening to Alt-J. I absolutely love both versions and both bands. Δ
Have you heard of FINK? Listen to their songs looking too closely kcrw and also yesterday was hard on all of us.
I love Alt J and I love Mumford and Sons. And I think Mumford and Sons killed this cover.
l am not an Alt j 's fun
I thing they're
a very very interested band
and they are really smart persons
but
The only song of them
that really talk to my soul
is "Matilda"
and maybe I
prefer the
W. A.'s version!
Sorry

You're right but Alt-J isn't just an amazing band like m&s. It's the band of the 10's decade.
Walter White I can't agree... yet ! They're wonderful musicians, but still not so great on live presence. What makes an epic song evolve is live improvisation, feeling the moment, not just recite it like good poetry. I'm waiting hard to see them 5 years away from now for full eargasm.
When you thought the original version was bluesy enough, Mumford go cover it like a boss
Two very different versions of one song, it's not unheard of. I enjoy both.
check out the third version by British singer Ellie Goulding - a different feel but excellent version
BUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNN
I'm not saying this one is better than the original but it's definitely my favorite of the two.
My all-time favourite band covers my favourite band at the moment. No adjectives can describe this brilliance.
I wish they'd gone full on Mumford on this, I'm just waiting for that kick to go four to the floor and Winston to destroy that banjo.
would have been sick..
I thought the same thing!
I love this! So strange hearing them take on a different style of music but they suit it so well. Mumford and sons never fail. Never.
To be honest I think Mumford and Sons are so underrated. Marcus can see any song and they can sing live which not many good bands/singers can do.
It's crazy how many artists cover this song! Alt J must be proud.
I love this version.
omg my 2 favorite bands i love this
Love Radio 1's live lounge for offering the platform for excellent covers like this one
The two best band combined. Mumford and sons and alt j. YAAAAAASSSSS!!!
Panic!atthecrazycatlady s
I've never heard Mumford and Sons but I love Alt-J and this is outstanding!

I have seen Mumford twice and they are just such an amazing band. Especially live. Still wearing my ticket bracelet from 2013.❤️
I love this cover so much, both bands are insanely talented
This is a fantastic cover!!!! I love both bands so much

I would not have been able to stand so still, especially in the first row!
Aaaa love these Lads❤
One of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the Earth!
oh. my. god. this is incredible. i have no words.
oh my..... i have no words for how much i love this
2:17 when the thirst hits.
This cover was reealllyy good!!
This song makes me feel something hard to explain. Alt-J is the greatest nowadays in my opinion.
Am I the only one just now finding these amazing covers? Thanks bbc
there's no way mumford and sons cover this song better than alt-j , they own this song and an awesome wave flows perfectly. mumford and sons do an amazing job though. :)
So wonderful I haven't heard this song before quite amazing
This is literally just as good as Alt-J's
Holy crap what. I love this. I love Mumford and Sons and I LOVE Alt-J!!!
Both versions of this song are amazing! I love both Alt-J and Mumford and Sons and this one is just as good as the original. Although the original maybe a little better, I still like this version.

I died when i realized my favorite band covered an Alt-J song because two greatness make an incredible cover wow pls dont ever stop making music Alt-J or Mumford & Sons!
This is just great. Voice of Mumford + hooky tunes of ∆ = magic.
This is simply beautiful.
Love this cover soooo much.
wow this was actually a really good cover
"Three guns and one goes off
Ones empty, ones not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin

It is.

I never could have seen Mumford cover an Alt-J song..
How many times you have to listen to something ? This song is just amazing. . Alt-J .
Can't get enough of this song.
Beautifully done. Could actually pass for one of their songs:)
BOTH OF MY FAVORITE BANDS ALL IN ONE....

This cover is so amazing! I adore this song, is something so out of common. Both are one of my favourites bands for sure.
It' d be perfect if they collab on a new one. So differente styles, but as well as tallented
I love this rendition, really made it their own with that skeletal sound, but still kept with alt-j melody niice.
Wowwww this cover is absolutely beautiful 💜 i love the original but far out Marcus just made this song for me!!! His voice suits it soo much!!! Love you Mumford and Sons xx
They do such good covers. Aaaah. So good.

I Love "Mumford and Sons" !
Can't even express my feelings after seeing this

One amazing band, covering another equally talented and yet completely differently band, to create something beautiful. I too prefer the original version, but you cannot deny that what Mumford and Sons did with it is truly fantastic.

covers are supposed to be their own perspective of the song, and I think Mumford did really good on that.
