Around 9pm backed by some suitably dramatic black and white film footage, Dark hits the stage and, accompanied only by a small I-Mac, proceeds to croon his way through a selection of songs from his debut album Songs For Suicidal Lovers. The set consists of moody interpretations of noir classics, primarily from the 30s and 40s, but what is entirely unexpected is that the musical backing is a dark and ambient electronica (think Massive Attack meets Scott Walker) with soulful saxophone, piano and trip hoppy beats. If nothing else, it quickly becomes apparent that at the very least, Darks love of the golden era of songwriting is genuine. Seeing this performance is like watching a character step out of an old film only to find themselves in modern day London. It is very odd and utterly compelling. It could easily be very, very good, and it quite possibly is.
