An excellent ‘4AD’ concert at the Cambridge Junction last Saturday.
First up was ‘Indians’ aka, Søren Løkke Juul. Now solo after working with other Danish bands most notably Other Lives, he has now found a niche as an electronic solo artist. A quite lengthy set really kept the audience engaged with a variation of songs and ‘Jonsi’ like pitched vocals. A new album (Somewhere Else) is well worth checking out.
Daughter was the band we had all come to see and a sold out show it was as well. Having caught a glimpse of the band at The End of the Road festival in the summer, it was eye opening to witness the full power, charm and subtlety of the band for a full hour plus set.
Originally the solo work of Elena Tonra and now on record a three piece adding Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella and on stage, a four piece. The band played a memorising twelve song set (no encore) from this year’s Album ‘If You Leave’ and the band’s previous EPs.
Almost at times like watching the XX, there is an underlying energy in the songs that just engulfs the listener into a state of awe. There was not a massive amount of interaction with the audience between songs, (Elena seemed at times to match Keaton Henson for on stage shyness), but this really did not matter, the audience where at one with the band throughout.
A superb show!
