Alt-J - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

2024 and im still here. Are you there? ------>

KEXP you can never delete this video I need it to survive

I love the drummer's skill. He's deaf (mostly) and still has this incredibly unique style and ability. The beat and sound that he creates really sets the atmosphere of the band's sound.

all the comments here are more than 4 years ago, im still high on ALT J

Almost 10 years have gone by since this performance, and it still brings me to another dimension. Every. Single. Time.

i feel like its a crime that i get to watch this for free omg!!!

I love how outward they're very quiet, but their songs have so many messages and emotions behind them.

*00:41* : _Intro_ *03:33* : _Interlude I (Ripe & Run)_ *04:48* : _Tessellate_ *08:20* : _Something Good_ *12:12* : _Dissolve Me_ [from 15:20 to 16:06 that part of that song is so great!] *16:32* : _Fitzpleasure_ *20:25* : _Matilda_ *25:30* : _Breezeblocks_ *29:30* : _Bloodflood_ *34:39* : _Hand-Made_ *37:32* : _Taro_

Their music is brilliant, so well written, thought of in every detail... truly a mastepiece! and it gives this warm feeling

These guys are very artistic. They paint a canvass in my ears.

Taro is one of the best songs of my life of listening to music and I am 71 years young . It's purely heavenly . Been 10 years , so glad to listen again . they are geniuses , love it . gonna do that one more time, have to .

I love the fact that they sound perfect even live

Intro 0:00 Interlude I / Tessellate 3:34 / 4:57 Something Good 8:20 Dissolve Me 12:14 Fitzpleasure 16:30 Matilda 20:23 Interlude II 24:18 Breezeblocks 25:31 Bloodflood 29:31 Hand-Made 34:41 Taro 37:33

There is little or no difference between LIVE ALT-J and RECORDED ALT-J. That is fundamental. Very chill, simply the best band

This album is an absolute masterpiece. There isn't a single song that isn't as good as the rest. Such a wonderfully unique sounding band. I must have listened to this album from start to finish over a hundred times.

No matter how many times I listen, Taro always gives me goosebumps.

I'm actually amazed at how good they are live. You'de expect a band that uses so much electronics in its music to sound a little worse on stage, but holy hell, these guys are amazing! For the first time in quite a while a band worthy of praise has hit the big time. Best of luck to them.

Alt-J is life.

Alt-j and Glass Animals are really awesome bands and have a great impact on my life! Much love to these guys

Anyone watched this more than 10 times like me? T__T Somehow I always come back here and watch this 42 minutes through over and over again.

Just tremendous. I'm impressed that they sound this good live too.

Drummer gets a break to wipe his nose at 7:24 Cool sound effect 10/10 I can Tessellate to that.

9 years later and this is still easily my favorite alt-j performance. dozens of watches and it still hits so deeply. thank you @kexp 🖤

omg his voice, i can't even...soo good!

It is quite clear that they are professional trained musicians, from the way they hold their instruments to how they harmonize a capella. And they sound identical to their studio album. They are a pretty cool band. Really like the atmosphere they have created with their music.

taro gives me chills

Tessellate was always my fave

Hearing them is like taking an actual chill pill.

For all of you who don't know, the drummer is phenomenal. Also he happens to suffer from Alport syndrome which means he's now 80% deaf... But anyway, Alt-J are incredible

Strange how Alt-J have grown on me so quickly. I actually hated their music when I first heard it - but then I decided to listen through the whole album in one sitting really loud in my bedroom, then I gained an appreciation for them. I now really love em, think they're amazing. Can't wait for their next album.

This is the first band I've ever seen that sounds just as perfect live.

Intro 0:00 Interlude I / Tessellate 3:34 / 4:57 Something Good 8:20 Dissolve Me 12:14 Fitzpleasure 16:30 Matilda 20:23 Interlude II 24:18 Breezeblocks 25:31 Bloodflood 29:31 Hand-Made 34:41 Taro 37:33

00:00 Intro 03:34 Interlude I / Tessellate 08:20 Something Good 12:13 Dissolve Me 16:31 Fitzpleasure 20:24 Matilda 25:29 Breezeblocks 29:25 Bloodflood 34:39 Hand-Made 37:36 Taro

Just so different. Nothing sounds like them, which is the ultimate compliment. The atmosphere is amazing and the guitars at the end are sublime, but also...the drumming and rhythms are just infectious as heck. Best listened to with an herbal aid.

After listening to them for literally only a day, they are one of my favorite bands.

such a vibe, they still sound new as if they arent almost 10 years old

Still goes smoothly in 2020. Such a flawless performance

I've been an Alt-J fan for years, but never watched this performance. It's insane how all the little pieces meld together perfectly.

The fact that I accidentally clicked on this and ended up watching the whole thing says something 😂

I've only watched this 8.9 million times? Humm....I thought it was more.

0:41 Intro 3:33 Interlude I (Ripe & Run) 4:48 Tessellate 8:20 Something Good 12:12 Dissolve Me 16:32 Fitzpleasure 20:25 Matilda 25:30 Breezeblocks 29:30 Bloodflood 34:39 Hand-Made 37:32 Taro

always come back here for this preciosity.

The tape to guitar thing on Taro is pretty cool.

Only an Alt J intro to an album can be one of your favourite songs. I remember coming home from working at a pub in 2020, it was about 4 in the morning, I decided to put on some Alt J because I hadn’t heard much of them since 2016. I played this video and when I tell you I had an eargasm to Intro that’s an understatement. I felt like it was euphoric. I played it over and over again that night. For the following few months that song was in my ear everywhere I went. This started me on my journey of obsession with Alt J. Can’t wait to see them in Dublin May 23rd.

Album gets repeated every day. I love the warm blanket of depression it wraps me in

Hi! I'm still listening Alt - J

Just found this guys during quarantine 🙆🏾‍♂️ where was I!!!

Listening to Alt-J sends me into a completely different world! I get so over whelmed that I just want to cry! LOVE THEM!!!

can't even listen to this while studying, it attracts too much of my attention

Had the pleasure of seeing them live. Theres nothing so beautiful inthis world.

Safe to say Breezeblocks is a masterpiece?

Bought the cd "this is all yours " at the library today on a hunch.Fabulous band. have played cd 3 times already. Im 63 but this music is timeless.

LOVE IT...Last year, I kept listening their album all the time, especially while driving at night...I put them in the same category as Bon Iver...Beautiful vocal harmonies, some folky touches...

1st interlude puts me in some sort of trance.

Alt-j is simply the best. Got to see them live this year and it was even better! Can't stop listening to Fitzpleasure, this live version is amazing!!!

alt-J has set my soul on fire.

I love this drummer. He's an absolute machine...but like the good type of drum machine.

Bloodflood sounds especially good live.

My cat has 7years and her name is Matilda because of you guys. I really love you. You’re going to be huge I can’t doubt that. Keep the good work and make keep making music like you only know. ❤️

The band with the most original sound I have ever heard.

This is what the evolution of music is supposed to be. Unmastered, indifference between recording/Live. Yet moving forward through creativity and influence. Powerful is the word that comes to mind.

As an old guy, I am absolutely amazed by the quality of music coming from this generation. Alt j, Glass Animals, etc. This level of talent and musicianship is incredible.

I'm an old guy and I have loved the Talking Heads all my life. Their unique approach to music has always intrigued me. But Alt-J is ready to step into their shoes and be truly legendary. Outstanding stuff by these guys - absolutely amazing work.

Definetly a preformence that will always be rated as one the the top best and every song is great. what a completely different awsome sound that ALT-J have.

This year they're finally coming to a city near to where I live. I got my ticket, I'm gonna go there, I'm going to get stoned and I'm going to have the time of my life. Best thing is that the week before I'm going to see Marilyn Manson so I'm in for two completely different performances. Can't wait :)

these guys are insane live, saw them in san diego a few days ago and they were to good to describe in words

The frontman is penetrating his guitar like a fucking God. Alt-J will be my favorite band forever. So much inspiration for all seasons of my life. I can't thank you enough for that. PEACE

Remembering that I was listening to this years back … hello from 2022

This is honestly going on my all time top ten with Arcade Fire, Mum, Boards of Canada, Radiohead. Ya their that good.

Escuhándolos en mi consultorio médico. Agosto 2023.

I’ll never be able to put my finger on exactly why but this specific album has been so calming to me for years. I always find myself back here. 💗

The Fuck! I never realised the Indian sounding part in Taro was played on a guitar, awesome !

Unbelievably awesome. Listened to this while coming down from a big lucy trip. By far one of the most relaxing yet addicting new sound I have come across. His voice just tickles your brain. Put on repeat and there goes the day. Thank you so much.

Masterpiece.

I’ve been listening to this live performance for 9 years and it never gets old. I get chills every time Bloodflood begins.

this brought tears to my eyes twice. what the fuck. so good. crazy synchronized and holy heck??? thom's drummminngngng?? phenomenal. im gonna miss seeing gwil's guitar moves but i WILL see alt-j live before i die.

First alternative rock band I see with a drum kit without hi hats! Absolutely amazing!

Nearly 10 years since this was recorded, and still listening to it and loving it like I just heard it for the first time.

i used to put this on to help me fall asleep. which probably explains why i havent slept in 11 years.

the day i found out about these guys is one of the most cherished moments of my life.

i am so in love with these guys. SO in love. the way they can create the most simple sounding parts on all instruments that come together sounding so complex and beautiful. they know what they’re doing to the brain. and don’t even get me started on the talent lyrically. my god. just in love. his voice is like no other. and the drummer is deaf?? amazing. so amazing. i am a drummer and have a slightly deaf friend who drums as well, it’s all about the vibrations and the atmosphere. the relationships they must have to stay so intact. such a beautiful world they all created that i strive for in my music. ✨

band of the decade..

This album is possibly my favourite of all time, AND this live performance still gives me goosebumps in 2024! This recording is on point, the percussion especially! ❤❤❤

This is one of those rare bands that is JUST as good if not better live. Awesome.

Thank you Alt-J, for your music

Just found these guys. Painted my entire house listening to the album over and over. Thanks alt j for getting me through these times of change

Good god they are unbelievable

So much years after and this is awesome...

This band is mega talented- one in a million. Their music gives me goosebumps. Bravo!

I love his voice. Unique.

Just had my socks knocked off! What an incredible sound- so different and one of the tightest bands I've ever seen. Taro and Fitzpleasure kills.

• A new musical paradigm has been done here. This band has in creative capacity that what we witnessed occurring with Radiohead few years ago. A new musical experience. This is when it holds sounding like nothing else and being incredibly amazing in the same hand.

Im so happy that I heard Fitzpleasure however many years ago.. and said Yep, I need to hear what that bands album sounds like. One of my favorite albums ever.

Fuck me it’s almost been 10 years. Great set list !

i am nothing without this band and this particular album. thank you, Azan.

I remember the first time I saw them live, in a small venue in Amsterdam. It was one of the best nights of my life!

I can't even find the words to express my happiness that KEXP had Alt-J in the studio 💕😅

this is actually pretty good,like 90%identical to the non live version. i like how these guys are just like,soooo chill.

FIRST TIME SEEING THESE GUYS FACES. I AM GENUINELY SHOCKED BUT VERY VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED
