But if alt-J felt the pressures of improving upon its beloved, award-winning debut, you wouldn&#8217;t know it from <em>This Is All Yours<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/tags\/126941307\/miley-cyrus\">Miley Cyrus<\/a> sample in its first single (&#8220;Hunger Of The Pine&#8221;) and a rocking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/artists\/15193815\/the-black-keys\">Black Keys<\/a>-ian riff in its second (&#8220;Left Hand Free&#8221;), the album is refreshingly unpredictable. Driven by surprisingly subdued, organic, atmospheric arrangements, the songs remain distinctly alt-J: quirky and surprising, yet solidly constructed and thrilling to hear. This appearance marked the band&#8217;s first time in our starry studio \u2014 albeit its fourth time live on our air \u2014 and yet the performance felt like a homecoming.<\/p>\n<h5>SET LIST<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Bloodflood Pt.
