So now we begin the Sunday previews. This is one of those days you'll want to arrive early and leave early. The depth of the bands is nowhere near Saturday but there are still good choices most of the day. I've already previewed The Eastern Sea, who plays at 11:20. That was my original plan: to see them. However, in the last week I happened upon Alt-J. I'm glad I did.
Alt-J is named after the Mac keyboard shortcut for Δ. They are a quartet from Leeds and their first album was just released in the U.S. yesterday. They are already making waves: the album was nominated for the Mercury Prize. This is one of those shows that you'll want to say you saw when these guys are headlining.
I listened to the whole album and I have to say it's one of the best I've heard since the XX debut. It's that good. I'll post one of my favorites from the album. Here's the video of their first single, which is also pretty good. Rest up Saturday night and get out early for this.
