LIVE: SOPHIE AND THE GIANTS



Singer-songwriter EC Gold opened the evening with some original tracks from his upcoming EP and a cover of Razorlight’s ‘America’, his voice glistening amongst the fairy-light backdrop before the headliners arrived. Sophie and the Giants exuded confidence throughout. Despite the cold reception from the crowd, the young quartet coped well to deliver an exceptional performance. Sophie’s vocal was glacial. Ethereal, enthralling, utterly epic. Like a young Florence Welch. The sample-pad acted as a piece of torch-paper throughout the night. Every time it was hit, the young foursome ignited, lighting up the stage with their euphoric, soon-to-be anthems and incredibly infectious chemistry. For a band who only appeared 12 months ago, Sophie and the Giants are quickly making a name for themselves and with performances like that, expect their nationwide takeover to continue.
