Scottish band Neon Waltz have not been idle since releasing their debut album in August last year. Their touring has been constant in support of Strange Hymns and they even surprised fans with a new EP back in February. I saw them in a tiny pub in Bathgate only a few months ago and tonight they headline Glasgow's most iconic venue, the King Tuts.
Frontman Jordan Shearer does his usual blank stare when he walks on the stage. The crowd cheer as album favourite "Perfect Frame" is played to open the set, with the John O'Groats six-piece following up the opener with a diverse set that blends together the dreamy and delicate with blistering indie rock.
The always well received "Sundial" features in the set along with brilliant slow burner "Heavy Heartless". Shearer thanks the crowd for helping them sell out the King Tuts for the first time, whilst the packed room cheers. Although the rise of Neon Waltz has been gradual, attending one of their gigs confirms that the group are onto something special.
