Limited edition coloured vinyl suits An Awesome Wave nicely, because alt-J's 2012 debut has always felt like an odd, beautiful object. It is the album that took a band of Leeds university friends all the way to the Mercury Prize.
Nothing else in indie music sounded quite like it at the time. Joe Newman's nasal, curling vocals, Gus Unger-Hamilton's choirboy harmonies and keyboards, Gwil Sainsbury's guitar and Thom Green's clipped, cymbal-shy drumming combined into something that borrowed from folk, hip-hop production and art-rock without settling on any of them. Producer Charlie Andrew helped the band keep every strange edge intact, leaving room for a cappella interludes, sudden silences and lyrics packed with film references and private jokes.
"Breezeblocks" became the breakout, a lullaby-turned-thriller that builds to a chanted, unsettling finale. "Tessellate" glides on a hip-hop-slow beat and a lyric about geometry and desire, while "Matilda" tips its hat to the film Léon with a gentle, guitar-led sway. "Fitzpleasure" goes the other way, all stuttering vocal yelps and a fuzzed-out bass drop that still jolts.
More than a decade on, the record has lost none of its puzzle-box appeal. Spin it front to back, interludes and all, and the mosaic snaps into focus all over again.
