Alt-J the band started off by recording of random songs within the dormitory rooms of the school. Gwil took the responsibility of being the producer of their newly formed garage band. After they graduated, the boys shifted to Cambridge. During that time they recorded the very first album titled "Brixton." They decided to rehearse a lot before taking the next and major step of signing with a record. Two years later in 2011, they signed a contract with the Infectious Records. The landing of contract was a big boost to their confidence.
 
Alt-J's first EP consisted of four tracks and was recorded in London under the production of Charlie Andrew. The songs included in the EP were Tessellate, Breezeblocks, Matilda and Hand-Made. This was followed by the release of their debut studio album titled "An Awesome Wave" in May of 2012 in collaboration with the Infectious Music. The songs were a mixture of a number of different genres such as indie rock, hip hop, catchy pop and trip hop. The lyrics were confessional, personal and at times up beat. On the whole, the album was a beautiful blend of emotions mixed with different famous genres of music.
 
Alt-J's first album won the Barclaycard Mercury Prize. It was also given the honor of being the "Album of the Year" by BBC Radio 6 Music. The band has been seen on the road quite often.
