This Geneva-based group, a dozen strong on stage, was making their first appearance on this side of the Atlantic. A unique sort of "big band" (dual marimbas, dual percussionists, dual guitars, strings and horns) there were some familiar elements here (the postpunk tension/repeat/release of The Ex, the meticulous rhythmic drive of Stereolab, the joyful singalongs of The Raincoats, and maybe just a soupçon of LiLiPUT's musical DNA) but this was a fully unique (and groovin') experience. Luckily, the band was well-served by the space they were playing in, with amazing clarity for such a large group, with all the players clear in their own space, rather than the muddle it could be if not done with such great care.
