Taken by twee. Victoria Bergsman's post-Concretes project eschews the sugar-coated indie-pop of old, and draws upon Pakistani musical influences to add ethnic flavour to her serene, detached vocal style. Whilst the traditional musicians that gave East of Eden its distinct character aren't in attendance tonight, the all-Swedish band recreate the intricate, tribal percussion and bouncy melodising superbly, adding their own twists to tracks like “Anna.” Their short but delightful set finds room for two covers- crowd-pleaser “Sweet Child O' Mine” and “My Boys,” an inspired take on Animal Collective's “My Girls”- and the excellent video projections further typified the care and attention the band have clearly bestowed on their live shows.
