The AU Review (Australia)
June 19, 2017

Gracing the stage with a five-piece band and a shadowy backdrop, the live show proved to be just as brooding as the much loved album of the same title.
The creative risks the young group took - epitomised in their performance of Kanye West's Ultralight Beam - brought a much-needed shake-up to the typical electro-pop group dynamic.
Bringing along Dreller featuring former Papa Vs Pretty frontman Thomas Rawle, it was a night of seriously loose heartfelt vibes with plenty of emphasis on the synths, and percussion to rival the best.
The Australian duo of Tom Iansek (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Jo Syme (drums, vocals) are joined on stage by a bassist/saxophonist to reflect the layers of sound that permeate their records.
