It’s hard to watch Lorde perform and believe that she is really only 16 years old. Her songs encapsulate maturity far beyond one’s teen years, and her effortless poise live gives the impression of years of experience.

Not to discount his ability as a performer, but Pyke’s two support acts, both young and emerging, managed to capture more energy and passion in both their sets than he did in his. Despite this, the night was an enjoyable evening of great quality music.

The problem with The Weight Of Your Love is that the band are trying to cover too many styles at the one time, resulting in an album that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.

Artistic process aside, the duo has created a hauntingly beautiful album full of emotionally-charged harmonies and stunning instrumental melodies – a pure delight for anyone’s ears.

A dance record with heartbreakingly beautiful tracks.

In terms of immediate appeal, May has been able to inject every hum, sigh or murmur on the album with this dark yet charming sex appeal.

Through his understated, raw vocals and achingly delicate lyrics, Howard managed to successfully take on the role of storyteller for the night.

An enjoyable band to watch; however, their reputation may precede them somewhat.

Unfortunately, as a whole the album failed to conjure any strong emotional response, and ended up being a pretty but somewhat forgettable listening experience.
