There’s nothing sweeter than a leftfield artist breaking through; the Technicolor pop makeover of indie electro-folk darling Wolf is a perfect example. Opener Get Lost launches an exuberant, triumphant set covering older highlights The Gypsy King and Tristan, plus tracks from his recent The Magic Position. The new, dark Blackbird led into a playful reference to Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack, before he closed with a gleeful cover of Kelly Marie’s disco classic Feels Like I’m In Love, leaving us wondering whether we’ll ever witness anything quite as pop-perfect ever again.
