The band’s sound never seemed big enough to fill the space, and the experience was oddly disconnecting - like listening to music with only one earphone in. Nor did they offer up much in the way of stage presence: frontman Colin Meloy seemed the only member who was happy to be there. Overall, I was perhaps most disappointed by the setlist, with several of the better songs from the latest album conspicuous by their absence. I’m not a big fan of gigs in this kind of venue (Sufjan Stevens at the Barbican earlier this year was a notable exception), but this one was a particular let down. A band I would happily have discussed in the same sentence as Arcade Fire have revealed themselves to be some way short of that high standard. Shame.
