Biography

∆ (pronounced Alt-J) are a British alternative indie pop quartet, formed in 2007. Their debut album An Awesome Wave was released in May 2012 to considerable critical acclaim, and considered for a Mercury Prize. The band develops a precise and unique brand of alt. pop that draws on poignant folk verses, crushing synths, smart hip hop syncopations and tight vocal harmonies. They dropped the moniker of Films in 2007, largely to avoid confusing the band with Californian punk troupe The Films. alt-J (∆) gave them a unique name to go with the unique ‘folk-step’ that they now concoct in the basement of a terrace house in Cambridgeshire.
