’藝人資料
Alt-J(?)組建于2007年，是一只英國(guó)的Indie-Rock樂(lè)隊(duì)。他們?cè)?012年六月發(fā)行了首張專輯《An Awesome Wave》一舉獲得了2012年英國(guó)水星音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)。
樂(lè)隊(duì)風(fēng)格：獨(dú)立搖滾（Indie-Rock）、另類搖滾(Alternative Rock)、藝術(shù)搖滾(Art Rock)、迷幻民謠 （psychedelic folk）、試驗(yàn)音樂(lè)（Experimental)。
三角樂(lè)隊(duì)組建于2007年的利茲大學(xué)，成員有Gwil Sainsbury (吉他/貝司), Joe Newman (主唱/吉他), Gus Unger-Hamilton (鍵盤) and Thom Green (鼓手) 。
Gus在大學(xué)里主修英國(guó)文學(xué), 另外三人主修美術(shù)。在他們進(jìn)入大學(xué)的第二年，Joe向Gwil演奏了幾首他自己寫的歌，這些歌是受到了他父親（是個(gè)吉他手）和毒品的啟發(fā)所寫的。于是他們開始在宿舍里由Gwil用GarageBand軟件創(chuàng)作歌曲，畢業(yè)后，他們搬到了劍橋，并在布里斯頓錄下了他們的首張專輯《An Awesome Wave》。他們足足排練了兩年，才在2011年與Infectious Records簽約。
Δ這個(gè)名字(即Alt-J)源于在蘋果電腦上用來(lái)插入希臘字母delta(Δ)的快捷鍵，“Alt-J”也常常讓人與Daljit Dhaliwal（一個(gè)英國(guó)主持人）和“電影”聯(lián)系起來(lái)。
2014年1月13日樂(lè)隊(duì)成員Gwil Sainsbury宣布離隊(duì)。
Alt-J獲得2015全英音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)英國(guó)最佳樂(lè)隊(duì)(British Group)提名；英國(guó)最佳專輯（British Album）提名。同年得到第57屆格萊美音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)最佳另類音樂(lè)專輯(Best Alternative Album)提名。
他們的單曲《Left Hand Free》出現(xiàn)在2016年上映的電影《Captain America: Civil War》介紹蜘蛛俠的片段中。2016年4月發(fā)行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)專輯《Live at Red Rocks》。
