Meet: ∆ alt-J (Coachella 2013 Artist)

English art rock group, ∆ (pronounced alt-J) recently won the coveted Mercury prize for their debut album An Awesome Wave. Take a listen to it, it's not for everybody but I do feel like it's the kind of album that grows on you with each listen.

∆ (alt-J) play Coachella on Friday, April 12 & 19.

∆ (alt-J) were also recently featured on the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack with a new track not on their debut album

They had one of my favorite videos of 2012 as well for their single, Breezeblocks:

Last year, Australian psychedelic rockers Tame Impala released one of 2012 best albums of the year. Lonerism is packed with enough groovy & trippy rhythms to take you on a surreal aural voyage. It was their follow up to their amazing debut album Innerspeaker.

Both are worth listening to and they are definitely one of the bands that I am most excited to see live at this year's Coachella.

Tame Impala play Coachella on Sunday April 14th & 21st.

For fans of: Well-made psychedelic rock music. Put this in your pipe and smoke it.

Take a listen to them, your ears will thank you:
