Indie rock

alt-J is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Hundred Waters, Breton, Meg Myers, Mountain Man and Wild Beasts. Those roots explain a lot about how alt-J arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Glass Animals, Broken Bells, Everything Everything, The xx and Two Door Cinema Club, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ninajirachi, Ellie Goulding, Grouplove, Lianne La Havas and Wolf Alice, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
