Love the fact that they didn't play the songs that have achieved commercial success, they played the songs that sound amazing live and make the most of the boys epic harmonies. ( also my two favorite tracks off an awesome wave :)
I love the old judgemental man in the back towarsa the end. His nod of approval and general enjoyment of the music is wonderful. You can totally tell with his nod as he walks away, there is an internal "they are good kids ❤"
on their facebook page, they say "alt-J (∆)’s name takes a little explaining. Pronounced “alt-J”, the delta sign is created when you hold down the alt key on your computer keyboard and punch ‘J’ on a Mac computer. The symbol has a deeper meaning for the band, as guitarist/bassist Gwil Sainsbury notes, “in mathematical equations it’s used to show change,” and the band’s relatively new name came at a turning point in their lives." i think it's a great name once you know the backstory...
Nail Noonan, there is something on the camera called zoom. He could be 15 feel away and get a close up shot of their faces. The camera operators of La Blogotheque Take Away Shows are some of thee best I have seen. Yes I have seen many different styles of filming, these ppl are some of the best. I love this band, soo awesome!
part of the mystery to me is that it seems there is 1 people filming but i wonder how they get material to do "insert" as we say in french to cover with some cut ... or they are 2 filming at the same time??
Felipe Signe the cutaways are probably just of a different time and they keep the other sound as overlay so it seems like it's happening at the same exact time. (ie 3:22 could've been filmed 3 minutes before they even sit down cuz it wouldn't have mattered)
You ever read a book and when you finish it you just sit there in complete silence sad that it's over but happy you had to chance to experience it? That's me discovering this channel. And being in complete separation from the outside world and totally submerged into this raw beautiful art.
I'm not sure if there's a filter on the camera lens, or if its the natural lighting, but i find the colour balance of this vid to be beautiful, and really fit the vibe of the video itself and the music. Great job by the cameramen.
I respect this band so much. I have almost no clue why. their music is just perfect. She makes the sound, the sound she makes to calm me down. all of their music just mellows me out. that basically explains it.
These songs, with Newman's distinct & harmonious voice reminds me of the faces from the past, the ones that haunt me as much as thrive me, from those moments once held so preciously in life to a gap in today. Even to the point of the artistic beauty in the music video by La Blogothèque. Their scenery depicts such a matching tone to the music(except that old guy in then end that completely ruined a shot in an adorable senior citizen moment) and made this one of the most pleasant 7 and a half minutes i have ever heard.
Wow, just amazing versions of Mathilda and Dissolve Me. The best band in the world. I saw them live in Gothenburg, Sweden this summer, and after the show me and my friends met them in the bar, and we talked for like an hour about everything. Awesome people. More bands should be like them to their fans.
I bought a glockenspiel because of this performance.... i love this video, the smooth travellings and the lovely glockenspiel's melody. Love you alt-j.
Mathilda : Just like Johnny Flynn said, "The breath I've taken and the one I must" to go on Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success Oh, this is from This is from This is from Matilda And she needs you This is for Matilda And she needs you This is for Matilda Dissolve me : Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only one Broken sweethearts, who sleep apart Both still pine for the other's side spine, spoon as sleep starts And pulse to pulse, now shush She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down I am see-through, soap sliver you're thin As I begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin And gold, fatless finger to lip, one two three four hush And pulse to pulse, now shush She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes. I'm tired now Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea
why I'm seeing this just now!!! I always thought that would be so interesting to see known bands hit the streets like that, off stage, parlors and lights, and perform in front of people that are not fans and don't know them at all, think is a great experience!! thanks for sharing this
If this happened to be right in front of me while I was walking down the street I am pretty sure I'd just stop, sit down, close my eyes and enjoy their brilliant music while showing the biggest smile.
Hey Charlie... ;).. remember one thing... The "Old Man"... maybe was just enjoying...has he also is in age of refering some of the Greatest bands or singuers that Started all of this kind of music ! Remember that ! I am 52..lived the 70's...the 80's (UaU)..the 90's, the 2000's and... still Here for concerts and Good music...Unifying people all-over the world, liking the same tastes ! Intemporal , when it is GOOD. Simple as that. The "Old-man" was just enjoying the beauty of these sounds of youth

no lol there name came when a band took their name and added The to it so they had to change it lol
thanks for that :)
Can not get enough of this acoustic version of Dissolve Me!

Everytime I listen to them I know exactly, why I love them so much.

Joe is one of those rare natural performers that actually sound better live than they do recorded. Incredible.
I don't think anybody around them realises quite how magic what they've experienced is. Yet somehow this is what makes it all the more special.
I think that old man knew
Alt-J are fantastic, they suit the French lifestyle and atmosphere very well, and their music captivates everyone around them. A truly great band.
Wow...I am affected, even feel changed after watching this.
Not heard a take away show this good since the first Bon Iver performances... absolutely fantastic!!
Alt-J (∆)
"Matilda" - 0:23
"Dissolve Me" - 3:18
Being a deaf drummer must take some talent!! This band truly is phenomenal.

+Matty McGough In any other country it would be post-processing, but in France it's probably _au naturel_ ;)
(Yeah, late reply, I know :p )
@@DJ4H4even later reply :)
Why nobody stops? ITS ALT-J!!! I love Alt-J! :3
I got so mad watching everyone walk by
that's because they're singing in english in the middle of France
you know how french people are
Sounds like they’re playing at a conversation volume.
@@luizfernandohuf1662 I'm french....
@@luizfernandohuf1662 in the US same shit if you sing in french no one bats an eye or says dumb shit
6:36 THAAAATDUDE
Awesome work as usual la blogotèque!
I can't believe how people around them act so natural. They're Alt-J
I respect this band so much. I have almost no clue why. their music is just perfect. She makes the sound, the sound she makes to calm me down. all of their music just mellows me out. that basically explains it.
"cheers" arent they sweet?? Love them so so much! Just ONE month to see you in Argentina ❤
Michelle Posse xx
They have a fascinating purity - no b.s., no "flash" -- just pure music. Love it.
What a beautifully unique voice
I can't believe this, it's so beautiful and people can't appreciate it!
Here in Argentina, people just stop and listen
Amazing, love the band
Parisians are like that, they snub everyone, even people who speaks their language
All Parisians aren't like that, fortunately :)
Thats why your country is a back water shithole and the west is the greatest civilization the world have ever seen. The people are busy.
It's France.... What else would you expect from these people...
i saw them live and it was the best concert i've ever been to

haha, 'glockenspiel' isn't there any english word for that?
Marty Hofmann Yes, bells. ;P
***** Marty Hofmann I'd always heard it called a xylophone. But maybe that's a different instrument?
she makes the sound , the sound she makes to calm me down
she makes the sound , the sound she makes i,m tired now +++
lovely masterpiece
you guys are beautiful I'm crying right now
i would die if Alt J would play next to me during my coffee.
What I like about Matilda the most (which I like everything about it), but the most is the verse referring to the wrote and the writ.
Johnny Flynn is a boss
It's funny how this café looks almost frencher than french. This take away show is beautiful, thank you.
They give me chills. I love this band so much! ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆ ∆
This is tremendous...for lovers of interesting music, travel, people watching, even cinema. :)
Gorgeous harmonies near the end....
Awesome. The hipsters in the background were a nice touch.
I love how the old man in the background sorta stares and stares at them like he was saying "Damn Hippies."
Mathilda :
Just like Johnny Flynn said, "The breath I've taken and the one I must" to go on
Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss
My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success
Oh, this is from
This is from
This is from Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
And she needs you
This is for Matilda
Dissolve me :
Now dissolve me, two tabs on your tongue
A herd of shepherds to herd the sheep, sleep now my only one
Broken sweethearts, who sleep apart
Both still pine for the other's side spine, spoon as sleep starts
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
I am see-through, soap sliver you're thin
As I begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin
And gold, fatless finger to lip, one two three four hush
And pulse to pulse, now shush
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes to calm me down
She makes the sound, the sound the sea makes. I'm tired now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea
She makes the sound the sea makes, knee-deep in the North Sea

Lo Blogotheque, thank you for these amazing videos. Brings out a whole different side of the music that is sooooo refreshing!
you sing like an angel bro. wish I could sing like that!!!!!
If this happened to be right in front of me while I was walking down the street I am pretty sure I'd just stop, sit down, close my eyes and enjoy their brilliant music while showing the biggest smile.
I couldn't imagine being in this type of setting getting to listen to alt j, I'd be in complete awe
love those cool French teens in the background
these people don't know how lucky there are to be casually chilling with alt-j..I'd be way more impressed!
took those words and bands right out of my head
Slow to me - 5 years to find alt-j live, fantastic work from guys!
I clicked 'like' before the video even began. Alt-J + LaBlogotheque = gold. In advance.
I love seeing their acoustic work
love the senior who took a moment to enjoy alt-j during dissolve me, very cool
are they tuned down or something? Because this is the best I've heard Joe sing Matilda live. Really is.
I think it might be
6:18 - 6:25 I wish the studio version had that part.
Yep but you've got it right here :)
me too! :)
Alas, the beauty of live performances.
It does ! It's just on the track dissolve me as opposed to Matilda
dissolve me sounds DIVINE acoustically!!
Dissolve Me sounds so precious and fragile :) Love it!
That's incredible. That's where I met and fell in love with my fiancé. We both have tickets to see you next year, can't wait!
Everything about this video is perfect
"I think we're done."
-I feel you, brother.
I love the cameras of the take away shows
Seeing them in 6 days! Couldn't be more excited.
what a little princess in the beginning of the video... i'm not jealous :}
That jam is magical....Wow!!
i love the way that right at the start gus thinks that little kid is sweet but joe's giving them a death glare
What a lovely performance. Just beautiful!
6:34 SOON
I'm laughing my ass off

THAT SINGER! Incredible :D
No. He means very melodic.Containing awesome bass and amazing chimes and all.
His voice is just so awesome! I love how they perform so f*ing great ! I`d love to see them live
this voice... amazing...
Production, performance and location on this are flawless!
Looks and sounds like heaven to me...
Oh God that was so beautiful, my ears have been blessed
top quality
I still remember gus serving me in the union. lovely stuff

couldnt agree more. Days have passed listening only to Alt-J ( Half moon run too maybe :P)
J'adore la Blogotheque! Je la kiffe ;) This is a magical performance.
u Guys should come to Lisbon ( Portugal ) The atmosphere is exactly like this, everywhere :))) with a castle, friendly people eveywhere, and the most amazing weather ;)))
This is amazing. My ears have been blessed.
Watching this in 2021 feeling nostalgic of a time when I could simply sit and enjoy music in public
Absolutely... unique ! ....a Piece-of-Art !
Dissole Me sends shivers down my spine, beautiful x
Great video by the way, truly shows their talent and ability to play almost anywhere.
Awesome! If I had those skills I'd be on a street corner all day, every day.
I see your point, still, even then not many people seem to be even listening. But you are right it's nicer this way.
I like the singer because he sounds the same while recording the song and regular. His voice is amazing.
Hallucinant à quel point je kiffe ces mecs.
Saw them at Coachella, they killed it.
Oh man this gave me endless chills..
It's been months and I can't stop listening to them, and getting goosebumps with every song.
I want to see them live really bad.
Note to self: Pay more attention when out in town, I mean you never know right....
That guy at 6:34, now he's impressed
Which songs are these? I'm in love all over again with this band.
n importe quelle chanson vous la rendez sublime!! bravo
This music makes me yearn for summer vacation and festivals
His voice is a true instrument :)
Soul melting beauty in both songs!
my god, this is perfection.
