Music That Takes Me Places

ALT-J, AN AWESOME WAVE

Today, I am compelled to write about the debut album by the British band Alt-J. which is one of the best albums that I have heard so far this year. Released in the UK on May 28th, An Awsome Wave is set to be released in the US on September 18th. 

Upon its UK release, the BBC called the album "a stunning and encompassing affair of both innovative and electrifying musicianship and exemplary song writing." The Guardian wrote that "the music is rich and quirky enough to match the imagistic literacy of the lyrics, from the majestic, cinematic sweep of 'Intro' onwards." For me, An Awesome Wave in an intelligent, innovative, frisky, and wildly engrossing album that I have not been able to stop listening to since I first heard it.

Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why. Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
