‘Matador, estocada, you’re my blood sport’

Alt-J’s ‘Something Good’ is a song that takes its lyrical inspiration from the cathartic experience of the finality of a bullfight used to gain clarity from a previous relationship. The video for the song is equally centered on a matador and bull in the ring. An Awesome Wave is up there as one of my favourite records of the year. Yes, they only had a new video last week.
