Alt-J play ‘Leon’ in Maida Vale session for Zane Lowe
Band also played ‘Warm Foothills’ and ‘Left Hand Free’, post-O2 Arena.
Earlier this week, Alt-J visited BBC Maida Vale to perform a session for Zane Lowe on Radio 1.
The trio made an appearance a couple of days on from the biggest gig of their career, at London’s O2 Arena, where they were joined by Wolf Alice and Gengahr.
Speaking about the O2 show, Gus Unger-Hamilton told Zane: “We want to play more arenas! We’ve got the bug.”
During their London headline show, they showcased ‘Leon’ for the first time in four years, a track originally penned when they went under the name Films.
‘Leon’ got an outing during the Maida Vale session. Alt-J also played ‘Warm Foothills’ and ‘Left Hand Free’.
Listen back to the Maida Vale session below.
