Kent

New York, NY

-Chris Kelly

While most bands' sound decreases onstage, the intensity of Kent's performance almost hit the roof. Joakim Berg's remarkable pleasant voice choed through the room, while the layered parts seem dreamily atmospheric.

Mixing up songs from Isola, their debut record in the US, Kent blew away the audience with tracks such as "If You Were Here," "Things That She Said," "Lifesavers" and "747."

Despite their Swedish/Finnish backgrounds, Kent tackled the perfect brit-pop sound, and their remarkable performance comes in second to their songwriting skills, which prove their extraordinary talent over and over again. While in most cases you can purchase the record and simply play it at high volume, Kent's performance must be witnessed to be believed.
