KISHI BASHI (London EartH, 26/11/22)

Looping violins through pedals isn’t the novelty it used to be, but of all the fine practitioners of the art, Kaoru Ishibashi is certainly the most lively. It’s a shame EartH’s acoustics didn’t always do justice to his luscious string-drenched indie-pop, but the man could have carried the whole show with sheer charisma alone.
