Alt-J + Life is Strange = Beautifull

exactly!!!

[@weirdoscreation]

@@luke_home not at all!!

[@gilpaspot9811]

@@weirdoscreation Why not? ;(

[@weirdoscreation]

@@gilpaspot9811 because I hate Life is Strange fandom praising the game under music videos, not artists who wrote that music

[@gilpaspot9811]

@@weirdoscreation Why do you hate that? Isn't it good that the game let people discover and appreciate some of the music that you love?

[@ellenstoehr]

DEAR GOD that drummer. The timing is outstanding.

[@simoltan]

estoehr isn't he like partially deaf as well which makes it that more amazing

[@Mattizfatt]

Jesse Pinkman I believe he said in an interview he's about 80% deaf. Definitely impressive.

[@Cole444Train]

the timing better be.... its a simple song with a simple time signature any mediocre drummer could do it.

[@hqelias]

Cole444Train well, fuck off then

[@Cole444Train]

Elias Lopez Hey man, chill. I LOVE Alt J. one of my favorite bands from this genre. I'm just telling the truth.

[@timachan7419]

My friends asked me to play something good...so I played this XD

[@piotr346]

I always do this xd

[@melissavargas7642]

Recently heard "Breezeblocks" on the radio. It got me so excited that Alt J was playing on the radio. They are going to be so big, i can feel it

[@muhammadoktariq7471]

it is

[@pawanshetty6502]

Accurate prediction here

[@Mr_Raji]

Damn you can see future?

[@animcraft7106]

Just saw them live in Paris, they are big

[@ObeyKnifes]

his pitch control is astounding he gets loud when hes quiet and he stays quiet

[@zyfo7124]

who is listening this masterpiece from 2024?

[@evidentlymak]

imagine waking up to this song like Max did... AHHH HEAVEN!

[@michaelfriedman2221]

Sorry who is Max?

[@evidentlymak]

@@michaelfriedman2221 Max Caulfield from the game Life is Strange. There’s a cutscene where she wakes up in her dorm room and this song is playing

[@frayedsocks]

i wish i could be caressed the way these guys caress their instruments

[@rlsid]

I just played Ep. 2 of Life is Strange and heard this song. It was really calming. The lead singer reminded me of Neil Young.

[@alanweak]

I love Alt-J... It's like they are the lovechild of Jose Gonzalez and The XX.

[@gabbybotz3434]

Exactly!!!

[@manavnayyar]

Yoooo I always felt the connection too . Atleast the Jose Gonzalez part. Don't know who XX are but I'll check them out.

[@picklebrain0]

Something is so eccentric about Alt-J, but so beautiful at the same time. They're so unique from all the other music I listen to, but I can listen to them any time that I want to.

[@HeatherBJustUS1LuV]

picklebrain0 tattle

[@marynewall5764]

I almost cry with tears of joy, not for addiction but for freedom of attachment.

[@epicemugirl]

I get chills listening to them, their music is perfection 👌

[@LincolnSequoia]

Drummer's rhythm is fantastic! Love this group, so original, creative

[@jessicaturrubiartes1066]

I love that Netflix got permission to use Alt J's music in their shows. I admire this band so much, it's refreshing to see their fan base growing. Hello new fellow fans!(:

[@PM.68]

Jessica Turrubiartes hello😁

[@christianmcdonald3076]

Not a cymbal in sight. This album is perfection

[@gos_707]

I'm late for this, but happy birthday, and I loved this! The LIS game made me love it even more.

[@hector8cinco]

That bass sounds cool, keep rockin guys

[@navigatOoR]

Flawless performance.

[@juco85]

No se si saltar de furia o simplemente dejarme llevar por la paz. Eso transmite esta canción

[@whizxcoffee]

[@mesamarisa]

[@lostconnection_666]

Getting major life is strange flashbacks! This game made me fall in love with alt-j 🖤

[@valentinacatalanriffo1671]

2022!! Something good, oh something good, oh something good Oh something good tonight will make me forget about you for now Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada,you're my blood sport But something good, oh something good, oh something good Oh something good tonight make me forget about you for now Forty eight thousand seats, please, send rose, for my memories of you Now that I'm fully clean, the matador is no more, he's dragged from view Get high, hit the floor before you go Matador, estocada, you're my blood sport Forty eight thousand seats, please, send rose, for my memories of you Now that I am clean, the matador is no more, is dragged from view But something good, oh something good, oh something good Oh something good tonight made me forget about you for now

[@alessandraduarte7397]

oh god :( this song is beautiful

[@jomartynn3949]

They're so chill.

[@CarolineKoko]

These dudes have skills with their instrument..amazing. .

[@colbygalberth3562]

I love that piano part

[@trevnutz]

Great song. Can't understand why Gwil quit because he has so much going for him.

[@Evelyn-lb6yy]

I know right lime they are being so successful now but it was his decision

[@Seriona1]

Late coming in but he was scared of the band getting big.

[@MibarMe]

This is peak music performance: Pure sound, 100% focused on music, nothing else.

[@astono9178]

i agree, but one of the things that makes me love this track to death, is the intensity it has. i think they should have brought more of that intensity to this performance.

[@Guzmanicable]

And I'm seeing them in Sydney at the end of July. I can't wait! Gonna be good.

[@oleksandrchupikov2564]

So, how it was? 7 years ago.

[@deevcat]

why KEXP not make tour over the world? absolutely with their best lineup

[@MeatloafAnderson]

Feckin love Alt-J. What a great band!!

[@Nasturtiumnat]

I could listen this all day!

[@sierrabutler9241]

They are enchanting

[@Whywillk]

Such an amazing voice

[@RobinLeGaming]

I like to think Max Caulfield went to this concert. After all, at that time she lived in Seattle and she obviously likes alt-J, or at least this song.

[@josueEC98]

100 %

[@aikoyonamine]

Damn it these lyrics are inexplicably beautiful. Great live performance. Well done.

I love this song but people can dislike it if they want......

Not all genres of music demand the same level of theatrics

[@uskaaaa]

[@ValerianKapeller]

Thom Green!! Thanks for your drumgrooves. :) Groove: RLRLRRLL (R-Cowbell, L- Snare) (i think)

[@lianabl1]

Yes!!!!

[@rockedthecrapout]

Hey! Alt-J is coming to Mexico nov 18th, suck on that comment section!

[@BESONETAN]

I'm glad that I was able to see their live when Gwil Sainsbury was still there. It just feels so different now without his amazing bass line.

[@mad3arber]

Fuck so good

[@yeahdog123]

goddamn this guy can sing

[@weirdoscreation]

He is a soloist of course he can :/

[@mattmirai]

Still, it seems like that they're playing only for themselves in a bedroom, jamming.
