"If you present somebody with the figures on alt-J, it’s mental — Madison Square Garden, the O2, Mercury Prize, No. 1 albums, but 99 people out of 100 don’t know who we are. It’s all about that 1 per cent who love us." - Gus Unger-Hamilton.
In this episode, provide an intro to one of my favourite bands - Alt-J. We explore how the group formed and provide an overview of their career and success.
