They have improved a lot since last year, still playing their spacey rock, but it’s much fuller and a little more bluesy than I remember. It’s quite glorious stuff in the sunshine and I hope they continue to improve and return again next year. Their sound is getting more and more suited to stadiums and next year could be the year they break big!

They play the new single ‘Letters’ and lots of other stuff but don’t say what it is, so I have no idea. What they do they do well it’s not new but it’s nice especially in the sun.
