Despite signing to Matador in 2010 and making the BBC Sound of 2011 shortlist, Esben And The Witch haven’t grown too big for their boots. They’re still up for playing a hot, sticky room.
First up though, the eclectic sound-bath of Hirvikolari made good use of the venue’s powerful rig with their live sample looping; successfully sweeping up from white noise to a sub-ambient house beat.
The former who opened the show have played with and toured with quite the spectrum of acts – from supporting post-hardcore maniacs Hot Snakes last year they go on tour with drone wizards True Widow later this.
Esben And The Witch may be icy cool swimming amid a sea of bass-heavy shoegaze feedback but that is not – repeat not – an excuse for failing to engage the Scala’s heating on what may turn out to be the coldest night of the year.
