Maybe alt-J were a little too ahead of the curve. Upon release, this debut was a buzz-worthy hit that cemented them as weirdo art darlings for the Radiohead crowd, but that momentum fizzled after two subsequent albums. Which is why 2021 is a fine time to revisit glorious oddities like "Tessellate," "Breezeblocks," and the funky "Fitzpleasure." An ideal entry point to their world, An Awesome Wave lived up to its title and shouldn't be forgotten.
