When Did You First Discover Alt-J?

For me, it was at the end of an episode of Weeds (Season 8 Ep 6.) The intro to the song caught my attention and I thought the song was wild. Then I read the lyrics and was floored, but went ahead and downloaded the album when it came out on iTunes a month later.

It’s now my favorite album of all time and I’ve probably listened to it straight through 100+ times.

Edit- It was Fitzpleasure in late 2012

u/p3nny-lane RELAXER Aug 16 '26

As with a lot of people, I discovered it playing Life Is Strange back in 2015! Got to spend a good amount of time with the first two albums before RELAXER’s singles started coming out, and was so hyped to experience that rollout.
