Alt-J

Photo Credit: Courtesy of Jory Cordy As the favorite to win the Mercury Music Prize in November and a Top 20 phenomenon in the UK, Alt-J is perhaps the most successful British Band of 2012. Alt-J has made its splash with their debut album An Awesome Wave
, a vibrant marriage of upbeat indie rock and brooding synth rhythms that hit record shelves last month. In this World Cafe session, hear Alt-J perform several tracks from An Awesome Wave and chat about how they met at Leeds University, the story behind their band name, and how they got started in the industry.
