Alt-j, the breakthrough band of 2012 with the wholly unique vision, follow up the recent release of their single, 'Matilda', with the release of their debut album. <i>An Awesome Wave</i>, featuring thirteen tracks laced with their already distinctive sound, was recorded with long-time producer Charlie Andrew. Veering wildly from psychedelic avant-pop to skeletal folktronica, the finished album trades in understated beauty one minute and epic oddities the next, just as you'd expect from a debut album that tackles everything from love to bullfighting to the heroic life of 1930s war photographer, gerda taro, who was crushed by a tank on the frontline. Other tracks are inspired by cinema, including lead single, 'Matilda' (about Natalie Portman's character in Luc Besson's Leon) and the good the bad and the ugly-referencing 'Tessellate'.<br>
