I like a good triangle.
You spelled 'A' wrong.
It is ungooglable. It'd be the perfect name for the ultimate hipster band. Is that what it is?
Yes. Something Good is my favourite.
Yup, love 'em
I wasn't wrong. I listened to one song, didn't hate it. Will report back at a later date.
Alt-J, for anyone else still confused.
It's not my favourite polygon if I have to terribly honest with you.
"An Awesome Wave" worst album title, ever.
Interesting vocals, take a while to get used to but liking them.
Listening more, the vocals are eerily similar to The Temper Trap.

I really like bands like Alt-J, Temper Trap, XX, Mumford and Sons. Any others recommendations?
Taro is SUCH a good track
I listened to the album there and I really like Breezeblocks, Something Good and particularly Taro. On the other hand I could have done without the pretentious 'Interludes' and Fitzpleasure is one of the worst things I've ever heard.
Have you tried any of Young the Giant, Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters and Men, Vacationer, or Ballpark Music?
Yeah agreed. I deleted the Interlude and will probably end up deleting Fitzpleasure. Taro is wonderful.
Yeah, I do like Imagine Dragons, and Fleet Foxes. I'll go away and listen to the others just now. Cheers.Fleet Foxes.
Yes, I like to shamelessly publicize them
By the way, I like Fitzpleasure.
Not possible!By the way, I like Fitzpleasure.
Fitzpleasure is the best track off the album. Enjoy this album, even though they can come across as a bit pretentious.
I pressed that and nothing happened?
On a Mac.

Im a fan of the the tri-delta sorority. ∆ ∆ ∆
Bit's are superb and some arrangements are particularly class... Similarly I really enjoy the frontmans strange vocals but occasionally it gets too much. Few stunners but overly i'm not bowled over.
Just went back and listened to the album again. Fallen back in love with it. Utterly fantastic.
Maybe a little bit different to those you mentioned, but Chvrches are really good and have some similarities to the Temper Trap and the XX. They're a fairly new, Scottish band and the NME gave their debut album 8/10. Well worth having a listen.
Also, for something similar to Mumford & Sons you should check out Frightened Rabbit - another Scottish band, but more established and I think they're on to their fourth studio album now. The track called "The Woodpile" from the latest album is really great.
It's a fecking work of art.
A multi layered, textured, coloured, HD, 3D peice of art. I've listened to it god knows how many times and I still hear a new little nugget of goodness I missed all the other times.
Euthanasia?
Is this a cult? When do we get to take part in a mass suicide so we can join the aliens on the planet Zoltan
I've only started listening to these recently. Great Album.
New album This Is All Yours out on Sept 22nd
Finally!
You can google them by typing "Chk Chk Chk" though.
You can google Cina's mom by...well never mind.
Yessss
One of the best moments of my life was seeing them and Foals back to back at Glastonbury.
Unbelievably good. My favourite album in the last 5 years for sure.
