alt-J and Portugal. The Man

alt-J and Portugal. The Man featuring Sir Chloe

Like their band name, the multi-faceted sound of British indie rockers alt-J (∆) requires a bit of explaining. The name derives from the combination of keys that results in a delta sign (∆) on Mac computers; the sound – a combination of folk-pop, skittering polyrhythms, and soaring falsetto harmonies – results in happy critics and even happier listeners. The quartet formed in 2007 in a Leeds Metropolitan University dorm room, and the constraints of recording demos in a quiet study environment heavily influenced their hushed, intricate approach to indie rock. 

They will be touring in support of their February 2022 release The Dream.
