Alt-J - Tesselate (Live on KEXP) 

I am getting chills all over my body, I cannot fathom the beauty and pure genius of this band. It's one thing to blow my mind on record but to sound that pure live? They are truly a revolutionary band and need to be more recognized.

Nowadays, most bands just use computers and voice editing to make the audio versions of songs sound better. You can CLEARLY tell Alt-J has that raw sound that doesn't even need editing. They are just as good, if not better, live than they are with the regular audio you hear on the CD! Love Alt-J!

Every time I hear "Three guns and one goes off, one's empty, one's not quick enough."...I can't help but hear a reference to the 'Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'... whether that is the original reference (GREAT movie), this is nevertheless a fantastic song. Wonderful voice... no auto-tune needed....

Their tight harmonies are impeccable

In the beginning you hear a song that is also on their album it's called 'Interlude I'

So lovely song,bravo!

"Triangles are my favourite shape. Three points where two lines meet..."

Bite chunks out of me You're a shark and I'm swimming My heart still thumps as I bleed And all your friends come sniffing Triangles are my favorite shape Three points where two lines meet Toe to toe, back to back, let's go, my love; it's very late 'Til morning comes, let's tessellate Go alone my flower And keep my whole lovely you Wild green stones alone my lover And keep us on my heart Three guns and one goes off One's empty, one's not quick enough One burn, one red, one grin Search the graves while the camera spins Chunks of you will sink down to seals Blubber rich in mourning, they'll nosh you up Yes, they'll nosh the love away but it's fair to say You will still haunt me Triangles are my favorite shape Three points where two lines meet Toe to toe, back to back, let's go my love; it's very late 'Til morning comes, let's tessellate

2:44 I love how Gus looks at him in suprise and amazement in this beautiful moment.

I really appreciate every sound of every instruments in this performance.

Oh the harmonies on Interlude 1! Full body tingles

He's singin all the songs with such effortlessness

well fuckity fuck these blokes r awesome

ARTE

No band sounds as great them live. Joe's voice when he sings "and keep us on my heart" literally brings tears to my eyes.

Sub par??!! This is amazing - a lot of bands would love to be this good on a 'bad day'.

They sounded so nice live three years ago, what's happening recently?

This guys are super talented, for me it is the,lyrics,they are master craftsmen.

They're not talking about how many lines a triangle have. But 2 lines meet one point, every point of a triangle 2 lines meet...

Of course triangles are their favorite shape- that's where the band name came from!! ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ Alt J for the win

The way that drumset is tuned makes me feel a certain kinda way

Toe to Toe, Back to back, let's go.

The drunming. 🤤🥁

Best band to ever have existed so far!

D O P E !

Bite chunks out of me You're a shark and I'm swimming

Best song ever. It could be my biography soundtrack. Joe newman🥰, I love you so much!.

So original

when the band is in 3D it's called alt-pyramid.....true story! lolz

drummer snifing at 3:55 jaja

2:29 - 3:04 best part in the whole album

immense love for you guys! best line ever, "it's worth knowing; like all good fruit the balance of life is in the ripe and ruin"

Shit is FUCKING ROCKING

Yes, but at each point of the Triangle only two lines meet. At none of the Three points of a triangle, do all 3 lines meet, and if they did, it would not be a triangle anymore.

I don't know how people can't understand this.

Damn I thought there was no way the Mumford and Sons version could be topped. This is unreal they must continue making music

c'mon stop this triangle thing! three points, (each!) where two lines meet!! :)

I have that exact same bass

...but triangles have three lines... New favourite drummer.

Sorry if i wrote wrong im 13 and im brazilian.

∆

God, I dream of getting to their concert. Stunning performers!

Wow these guys look like video game devs. I thought they’d look weird or something.

three lines, three corners, three points where two lines meet

"All your friends"...*sniffs mic* ..."come sniffing" haha awesome.

They need a bassist. They need that extra push/collaborative meeting. That's how genius Gwil and the band are together.

The way I see it, what the lyrics mean by "three points", is perhaps three separate places on a triangle where the same scenario takes place. As in, there are three points (or locations) on any given triangle where two lines meet.

We get it. Triangles. Stop, people.

Am thankful to you alt_j 💜

Hi i have a question Its a guitarr sound in this song? cause i dont listen to it Thanks :D Sorry my english

Yes, I always point out this. Maybe he's talking about a vertex? Is a vertex even a shape? GO AND HAVE A WAR AGAINST THEM! I'm joking, but really, you are right.

Kinda remind me of The Doors early stuff. Beautiful ❤

but only two lines meet at each point

The band name came after they wrote this song, it has nothing to do with the lyrics...

une tuerie ce morceau, quelle voix !!!

This is fucking awesome... I love your music, guys!

What bothers me, that's triangle. I.e. square is a four points where two lines meet, so it's better, isn't it :-)?

Amazing.... Simply

I fucking love this song... They're amazing! ∆

As close to Radiohead as a no Radiohead banda can get. Amazing

I do love KEXP

I made a cover with the tab if you want check it out ! :D

Absolutely brilliant gents

I saw them at The Moore and got to meet them after. One of my new favorite bands and they're sooo nice too.

Irrespective of your age and nationality, thanks for clearing that one up for us Lara

AHhhhhhhhh~~~take me away in to your music.

One of the best vocal performances and best sound recordings on RU-vid. And it only has 12,425 views...

Yeah, but each point is reached by two lines, not three.

I didn't know that. Cool... now I'm enlightened. Thanks!

wow kexp seems to have helped a lot of good bands. good stuff
