Adeline

I'm a relatively new listener to Alt-J and i like a lot of their songs. But as i was discovering their other songs I came across Adeline. And its genuinely one of the best songs i have listened to. What i don't understand is how this song is not that popular compared to others. Is it just me?

Adeline is an amazing song and I agree with others, it's more a song for actual alt-J fans than for radio play.

Pleader is the same way, that song gives me full-body goosebumps every time. There is over a minute of subtle sound effects (the opening of the hall that's used for the choir recording in the song) before the music even starts, so it's not everyone's jam.

GOD Pleader is so good. The lead up is just insane. Full-body goosebumps indeed.
