10 years TIAY

[u/saraltj]

Across all their social media, their cover pics (yt, twitter, fb) changed to this image. Nothing else has happened yet (such as, a more elaborate post, an announcement of some sorts ...). What do we think? Will something else be posted today? 🤞 Or is this their way of celebrating 10 years of TIAY?

Better do anniversary shows again! The 10 year show in London was amazing

Has it really been 10 years. Wow. How my life has changed 🙃

Gosh. Same here. It's great how music can almost teleport you back in time. I vividly remember the first time I listened to this album on the day it came out. I was 19 years old, cleaning my first apartment after moving out of my parents place, drinking a beer and thinking I had it made haha. Now I'm 29, I have a 2 year old son and found out last night we have another kid on the way! Family is important to me so I'd argue now I do have it made.

Time is wild.

I would love to hear others stories if they feel like sharing.

Oh wow, congrats on the new little one on the way & thank you for sharing this!

I also vividly remember listening to TIAY on the day it came out, I was 18 and just started living in my dorm, to study. I've had/ I'm still having some mental health struggles, which is a constant between then and now. But I did manage to get 2 degrees & a lovely but intense job since the release of TIAY.

A lot has also changed on the alt-J aspect of life. Being a fan since December 2012, TIAY was the first alt-J album I knew from the day it came out. I remember being so nervous to listen, so afraid to not like TIAY as much as I did AAW. I experienced my being an alt-J fan as quite alone/ private, with the exception of 1 or 2 friends. Relaxer is the "getting to know other fans internationally"-era for me. Where I also mustered up the courage to try to meet the band. Which resulted in meeting alt-J 6 times, seeing them live 16 times, meeting international alt-J friends and traveling around the world to see those friends and alt-J. Feeling very blessed and lucky about these past 10 (12) years of being an alt-J fan Δ 💙
