Pale Seas, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, 1 October 2013

Melodic, jangly rock, driven by the lead singer's acoustic guitar and quite reminiscent of late 80s US college radio sounds. There were nice harmonies between lead singer and girl drummer. They also have a bit of a secret weapon in the bassist doubling up on keys and effects.


They  had a well prepared set list and strong transitions between songs which worked really well.

The way the last song really built to create an enveloping sound of first vocals then instrumentals was really good. A bit reminiscent of Carwash Hair-era Mercury Rev at times and of Mona at others. It would be great to hear some more of their material.
