My daughter (early 20s) turned me on to this song 10 years ago. She's gone now. Thank you for the memory

That vocal round at the end leading to the harmony and then the outro gets me every time. Just brilliant.

[heyheytaytay]

One of their best songs. Was the one that got me hooked on them.

[Snarl_Marx]

Seeing them a few years back was one of the best shows I'd ever been to! Can't believe this album is a decade old!

[BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I've listened to Alt-J for dozens of hours but have never seen what they look like and they look exactly like I imagined.

[bradley]

They're unique in the very best way. I remember hearing this album for the first time and knew immediately the world got another iconic band. If you haven't already checked out their new album, do yourself a favor listen to it.

Wow! It's been 10 years. Geezeblocks.

[LilikoiJammin]

A friend just introduced me to their incredible music…..I 💕 the music- I’m 67 yrs old and love to dance still

[Dominic]

So nice to a band that sounds just like the studio recordings. Very rare these days.

[PepitoMegaChocolato]

their drummer is incredible. Awesome rhythm during the song

[MamieCee]

Spent the day listening to Alt-J!! Their new album is fantastic, An Awesome Wave was so so meaningful to me, I can't explain how much joy their rhythms, vocals, harmonies, lyrics, their everything, brings me when I hear their music 💓

[marjoe]

How has it been 10 years these guys have my high words

[YinYang]

Life is Strange introduced me to them, amazing band.

[rielo]

I used this song to get over a breakup(of sorts).
Happy 10th Alt-J 🎉

[ElCasteels]

I remember the years between 2013 and 2017 where my friends and I would get busy discovering new music. I have no clue how I stumbled upon Alt-J, but since then they’ve always been on my iTunes. Seeing the title Alt-J Breezeblocks on a video posted Today majorly threw me off because of how long this song has actually been around. I guess I’m trying to say I’m loving this nostalgia!

[shariwilliams]

Just saw them in concert. Blown away!! One of the best concerts I have been to

[justinmraap]

It just dawned on me that 2012 was 10 years ago.

[anthonyco]

I love that he's wearing colbert merch

So glad to see them on Colbert. I had a surgeon I used to assist that used to play a lot of their music in the OR and it's still a favorite to vibe to.
