Excerpt: “Starting as a three-piece (sans-keyboard player, Stina) the band opened with ‘1977’. With its slow, folky, delicate introduction plucked by cellist Tristen Parr, swampy middle section and Jewish-meets-gypsy folk ending, this song was a good introduction to the many strange faces of Fall Electric. The addition of Stina to the stage allowed for a soaring rendition of instrumental ‘Segue’. Whilst providing the uber-relaxed crowd a cinematic soundtrack to their wine sipping, Fall Electric did well to recreate the recorded grandeur of this one. A slightly sped up rendition of ‘Cold Bahama’ took a while to reach the bite and bile of the album version, but hit its straps with some impassioned beating from drummer Pete Guazzelli. ‘Twine Of Wool’, ‘Faithless Friend’ and ‘Noah’ all featured in a solid second half, which saw the band locking into grooves and building up mini musical melodramas within each song. In a town where mould-perfect pop, rock and metal reign supreme, Fall Electric bring some much needed unpredictability and ambiguity to the ear.”
