Alt-J Win the Mercury Prize 2012

For once, a band that I've heard of and with real merit have won the award. The album An Awesome Wave is excellent, I recommend it. Well done Alt-J!

I've really tried with this and gave it a third listen this afternoon and I even caught them live at End of the Road, but they don't work for me at all :(
Richard Hawley or Django Django are better albums amongst this years nominees IMO.

+1 for Richard Hawley. Very good.:thumbsup:

Yes, I like the Hawley too.

The ALT-J only has one stand out track for me, Concrete. I think it's a poor choice.
