Alt-J (sometimes stylised ?) was formed when Gwil Sainsbury (guitar, bass), Joe Newman (guitar, vocals), Gus Unger-Hamilton (keyboards), and Thom Sonny Green (drums) met at Leeds, UK University in 2007. The band currently resides in Cambridge.
Unger-Hamilton studied English Literature; the other three Fine Art. In their second year of studies, Newman showed Sainsbury a handful of his own songs inspired by his guitar-playing dad and hallucinogens

AmF She may contain the urge to run away Dm But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks AmF Cetirizine your fever's grip me again Dm Never kisses all do you ever send are full stops la la la
AmF Do you know where the wilds things go
Dm They go along to take your honey la la la AmF Break down now weep build up breakfast now Dm Let's eat my love my love love love la la la
AmF Muscle to muscle and toe to toe Dm The fear has gripped me but here I go AmF My heart sinks as I jump up Dm Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
