Fields @ 93 Feet East, London, Oct 2006


I apologise now for my gushing but this band truly are spectacular.

The sound was a little dodgy in the venue but once that seemed to get sorted (or my ears adjusted), they knocked me sideways again. An unbelievably powerful wall of sound just hit me from every angle with every tune, and the melodies and harmonies swirled around on top like a snow flurry. It's phenomenal, the sounds that they manage to make and I can't see how I'll ever get bored with watching or listening to them play. Bring on the album - it can't come soon enough ;0)

Think of Ride and My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins all in a room together and you come somewhere near to their sound - but in actual fact, I think they're pretty unique. There's no-one out there doing what they're doing right now. And judging by the amount of press photographers at the gig, they're creating quite a buzz in the music world and, for once, it's deservedly so.
