It is incredible to see how far the steam train that is alt-J has travelled since we interviewed them almost a year ago. When they find time between picking up awards and performing gigs across the world, they can reflect back at some fantastic remixes taking advantage of the beautiful subtleties that may not have got their deserved attention underneath all the albums layers but are accentuated into the principle scaffolding of the remix and hold strong throughout.
They are composing music for films, fulfilling a previous ambition of the band and drummer Thom has also produced an elevating remix of Sivu’s “Better Man Than He” complete with graceful nods towards Alt-J-esque piano flurries and characteristic shuffly electronic beats.
Not wanting to miss out on the next step of the journey, Cougar Microbes will be seeing Alt-J soon on their tour for what promises to be an encapsulating set.
