Though I appreciate a curated lineup within one genre, the combination of Horse Jumper of Love’s updated shoegaze, Ricky Eat Acid’s eloquent trip-hop, and the serene, sunny lo-fi of Mutual Benefit provided a beautifully eclectic mix, full of warmth and sweetness.
My knowledge of Wild Beasts was minimal. I knew one song by heart but could recognize frontman Hayden Thorpe’s deep bellied vocals nearly anywhere.
Mutual Benefit’s first ever Sold Out show, right here in Allston at the legendary Great Scott. Check out their mesmerizing rendition of “Golden Wake” off their critically acclaimed album Love’s Crushing Diamond. Oh boy, this was a special night :)…
Mutual Benefit is on the cusp of great things, so catch them live at this stage while you can.
