Track Of The Week: Alt-J - Tessellate


Hello and welcome to another edition of track of the week.

As it's the return of this feature, we thought bring it back with a bang, or in this case an award winning bang. Yes this track of the week comes from the 2012 winners of the Mercury prize, Alt-J.

They may be slightly hipster with the name 'Alt-J' as it is the command used on a Mac keyboard to achieve the Greek letter "Delta" (indie triangle you see on 14-year old girls twitter bio's.) But don't let that take anything away from them, these lot have talent, great potential and overall a great album that deserved the mercury prize.

This track of the week is a version of Interlude 1 and Tessellate that was recorded when they performed at the African Centre in London and it's exceptional with an African choir, re-instating that they're one of the hottest bands in British music at the moment.

A great track of the week to bring us back, enjoy.
