alt-J

Alt-J, an English indie rock band, has proven to be more than just a musical sensation, exerting substantial influence in the global music landscape. The distinctive name, alt-J, originated from the band members’ love for Apple computers; it's the keyboard shortcut used to insert the Greek letter Delta (Δ) in a Mac operating system. Their music skilfully blurs the line between experimental rock and pop, creating an energy that has captivated listeners and led to a surge in popular alternative music.

The band has an exceptional taste for innovative and stunning visual aids, collaborating with top-tier directors and artists for their music videos offering an immersive musical experience. For instance, the music video "Tessellate" guided by director David Wilson is a reinterpretation of Raphael's classical painting "The School of Athens," but with a modern flip of gang life, which earned critical praise. Not to forget, "Breezeblocks," a reverse-motion video directed by Ellis Bahl that’s marked with suspense and raw emotion, bolstering alt-J's reputation in the industry. Alt-J doesn't just create music; they curate a complete sensory experience, cementing their place in the annals of music and cinematography.
