'It feels so good to be back' Metronomy aptly sing out to the crowd as they return to Bristol's O2 Academy for the first time in three years on Wednesday.
The five-piece electronic group led by Joseph Mount has consistently been synth-heavy, evolving to be on the lighter side of pop. But existentialist record Small World marks a more mature sounding body of work as the lead singer opts for an acoustic guitar.
The crowd is first warmed with an impressive set from four-piece post-punk outfit Goat Girl whose touring band benefits from an additional synth player. They closed their slot with a wonderfully haunting rendition of 'The Crack' from their second record.
