Yes Fest, Manchester



I was very excited to watch them play after researching the different bands at YES Fest. 

 It is not captured very well here, but their set remained as a golden light throughout. This portrayed their sepia aesthetic, similar to the effect in their music videos. Watching them perform was almost like watching them through an old camera lens. Adding to this nostalgia was their vintage guitars.

 The performers seemed quite serious and insular. There were no facial expression of eye contact engaging with the audience however this wasn't necessary because the music is so easy to enjoy; chilled out almost 1960esque indie music.

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
