Despite playing a relatively early set at 4.15pm, Sundara Karma keep their audience entertained, inviting them to sing and clap along to a string of hits including ‘A Young Understanding’, ‘Flame’, and ‘She Said.’ There’s a real sense of nostalgia for these late-2010s’ staples, and whilst recent material doesn’t quite hit the mark in terms of crowd-response and quality, no one can deny that set-closer ‘Explore’ makes for a strong finish.Īn indisputable highlight came in the form of a secret set at Gorilla from The Murder Capital, with frontman James McGovern seemingly holding his audience in the palm of his hand. A festival favourite, both with young fans of indie music, and casual older listeners, the band play a range of tunes from their acclaimed albums and EPs. Over at The Ritz, Sundara Karma are the picture of glam as they stride on stage. This is evident in the sparse, cold instrumentation of ‘Burn Alive’ which evokes Berlin-trilogy Bowie. Having supported The Rolling Stones at British Summer Time earlier this year, its unsurprising that the band cite the 60s and 70s as eras which have inspired their sound. For relative newcomers, their set is slick and their musicianship admirable, wit lead singer Abigaille’s smooth vocal delivery feeling almost effortless. I've danced with you too long Danced with you too long Danced with you too long And there's something in the air Something in the air.Kicking things off in the early afternoon, Brixton-based alt-rockers The Dinner Party served a feast of gothic musings and new wave galore at YES. Raged for the last time But I know you'll hold your head up high There's nothing we have to say There's nothing in our eyesīut there's something in the air Something in my eye I danced with you too long There's something I have to say There's something in the air Something in my eye Lived all our best times Left with the worst I've danced with you too long Say what you will There's something in the air We used what we could To get the things we want But we lost each other on the way I guess you know I never wanted anyone more than you
Let's take what we can I know you'll hold your head up high We've raged for the last time A place of no returnĪnd there's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long Yeah Something in the air Something in my eyeĪbracadoo, I lose you We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake Now we're going to pay and pay The sentence of our lives Can't believe I'm asking you to go Lived with the best times Left with the worst Danced with you too long Nothing left to save We lay in each other's arms But the room is just an empty s_e I guess we lived it out Something in the air We smile too fast Then can't think of a thing to say Your coat and hat are gone I really can't look at your little empty shelf A ragged teddy bear It feels like we never had a chance Don't look me in the eye
