Three competent but undistinguished performances from three talented but uncharismatic bands. Papercuts’ folk-Deerhunter sound piqued my interest, but I‘ve seen more vitality in a morgue; Vetiver were slightly more lively, but I’ve only a limited appetite for their traditionalist folk-country leanings. Headliners Beach House had a few isolated moment of greatness and their new songs sounded promising, but the fact remains they sound a a lot better on record- their synths sounded washed out and not even the grand acoustics of Union Chapel could make Victoria Legrand’s voice soar as it should. A slightly disappointing evening.
