If you saw Alt-J at Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium in September 2013 and then again on Tuesday night (aka 13 months later) at the same venue and felt the déjà vu creeping in, you’re not alone.
At both shows: “Fitzpleasure’s” meandering melodies came early. The quiet fury of “Tessellate” landed in the middle. The lulling “Matilda” was the evening’s biggest singalong. And Pixies-like “Breezeblocks” was saved for the encore.
Tickets for the July 27 Red Rocks show go on sale at 10 a.m. on Feb. 20 and cost $39.95-$45.
