Alt-J (∆) - Taro

I just wanted to share this song with you all. Based upon the life of 1940/50's war photojournalist Gera Taro, who died in her line of field due to a tank collision, Alt-J have crafted a simply magnificent fusion of styles. The song is soothing, melancholy and beautiful; with a poignantly touching video; reflective of the sheer wonder of cultural diversity.

Right now, I just want to jump on a plane somewhere.

Indochina, Capa jumps Jeep, two feet creep up the road
To photo, to record meat lumps and war
They advance as does his chance, very yellow white flash
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags

Burst so high finally Capa lands
Mine is a watery pit Painless with immense distance
From medic from colleague, friend, enemy, foe
Him five yards from his leg, from you, Taro

Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes
3:10 pm, Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes
All colors and cares glaze to gray, shriveled and stricken to dots
Left hand grasps what the body grasps not, le photographe est mort

31415, alive no longer my amour, faded for home May of '54
Doors open like arms my love, painless with a great closeness
To Capa, to Capa, Capa dark after nothing, re-united with his leg
And with you, Taro

Do not spray into eyes, I have sprayed you into my eyes
Hey Taro

His vocal tone possesses an alluring sense of course richness; which paired with highly evocative lyrics, can be quite a heady mix.With a range suited to both strength and subtlety, his performance style is one of stark contrasts- spanning from songs of intense melancholy, like Now it's Cold, to ones of infectious vibrancy, such as Boozehound. 

Having toured relentlessly over the last year with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Ryan Keen, Nova's Basement and Kal Lavelle  his freshly honed folk-rock style has wowed audiences alike.
