Lots, and lots, of reverb.

I think LES is going to be my favorite demo album with ITD?

Lucky enough to have purchased a Demos LP for LES, with the signed lyric sheet. It arrived today, with a lyric sheet for a song called 'You and me now' by Alt-J. Not confident that Kontraband will come up with the goods. Devestated.

What a spectacular set of demos LES is.

Yes, these demos are incredible, my favourite part of the series so far!

So, according to PJ fans on Reddit, apparently due to some mix-up at the warehouse the demos vinyl is delivered with signed handwritten lyric sheet... by ALT-J? "Summer holiday, having fun/ Happiness is between two buns"?

I'm sorry for everyone who ordered the signed editions, I hope the whole thing will get sorted out ASAP, but this is fucking hilarious.

I also loved the demos. I think Hanging in the Wire is absolutely brilliant. And Written on the Forehead's sound, which to me always stood out as kind of unusual in the official album version, seems to gel much better with the demos.

Nice Pitchfork review....

^ Thanks for sharing! Love this insight: “It depicts artistry as not merely a lightning bolt of inspiration, but the sum total of the innumerable choices, bold and mundane alike, that surround it.” And they called her one of the greatest English musicians, well deserved.

I'm amazed, in my opinion some of these demos are even better the album version! Some have a complete different vibe, it's astounding. I like to take it as a sign her musical creativity is far from over, hopefully.
