However, with their third album Veckatimest proving a crossover hit, the four-piece came to the Roundhouse for the second of two sold-out shows.

A stage adorned with lanterns created the appropriately reverential atmosphere in which to hear their crepuscular songs, while a hipster crowd in cardigans and tweed jackets looked on in hushed awe.

The all-singing band are a shape-shifting bunch, hopping between instruments and genres in a set that spanned fireside folk (Deep Blue Sea), Radiohead-sized crescendos (Fine For Now) and Beach Boys harmonies (Two Weeks).

Flutes fluttered, harps plucked and voices intertwined as the music school grads demonstrated the full extent of their talents on the chant-like Lullabye. But it was the quieter moments where they truly impressed. A stripped-down encore of All We Ask — a showcase for the sonorous vocals of Ed Droste — left things on a heart-warming high.

Before this, Baltimore boy-girl duo Beach House had given things the perfect start. Bolstered by the addition of a drummer, they thrilled with a set of hypnotic songs built on the coruscating guitar work of Alex Scally and bewitching vocals of Victoria Legrand.

A notable addition to an evening of exceptional music.
