The band cooked up an evocative, experimental soundscape. Having known nothing about them and taken a punt after a run of luck at the Luminaire, it was good to have been on a fun voyage of discovery.
The first song was an exciting introduction, bring to mind a whole set of different gothic songs (Johnny Cash's Hurt, things by the Pixies, Mark Lanagan and J Mascis and Therapy's Diane and its b-side acoustic versions of Loose, Die Laughing and Screamager).
The song about the battle for the soul of a gym teacher (performed a cappela) was quite a standard out. The final song painted a whole world in minature from the perspective of a girl trapped down a well, with somber and spooking saw playing. The song had to be restarted after a string broke, but they managed to re-create the atmosphere, if not quite the spine tingling moment it felt they might be about to hit on the first run though.
