Theme Park work through their 7-song long set with a degree of excellence; while, importantly, maintaining a chilled atmosphere via the use of delicate rhythms and cleverly layered synths. They chuck in a couple of new songs (probably from their eagerly anticipated debut album), as well as running through fan favourite ‘Milk’. Their dreamy guitar pop is full of shuffling drums and hooks that fit nicely on top of breezy basslines – so breezy at times that the smile-ridden band sway in synchro.
Their first single ‘Wax’, which merits tonight’s loudest applause, is the penultimate track serving up a timely reminder of just how far this band have come and also of how much they are yet to give. The short, but worthwhile, set comes to a close with new single ‘Two Hours’ and it’s easy to see why it’s been awarded Radio 1 airtime. The bulk of the young crowd attach themselves to the chorus, despite the song only coming to their attention through a Youtube stream weeks ago. All in all, it’s safe to say Theme Park are far from a high-speed thrill ride, yet have charm and character that certainly makes them an attraction worth revisiting.
