SS&ND Reviews: This is All Yours – Alt-J

November 4, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

 They say a band’s sophomore album is the hardest. In this age of music, if your first release flops– that’s it. In Greg Kot’s book Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music— my all time favourite book about music– he references Joni Mitchell’s remarks on how, when she was signed, record companies offered multi-album deals.  Joni’s first contract gave her something like eight albums.

2am, Rue du Bac, 7e arrondissement de Paris I chose this photo because today’s song reminds me of some sort of chase scene through Europe– like it belongs on Jason Bourne’s running mix. This is undoubtably because it reminds me of “Running Away” by G. Love (embedded below) a great piece used in the movie Cellular.
