Warm, high quality show, pretty much one hour flat but that was enough time to hear all the best bits from her small discography to date, plus a couple of unrecorded ones. Dacus's neatly constructed songs and story-telling lyrics came through well in the live four-piece (including Dacus herself) band setting, and likewise the lovely timbre of her voice, while she herself seemed empathetic and unaffected.
The highlights were basically the songs that have settled into being my favourites from Historian, "Addictions", "Nonbeliever" and "Night Shift", also (with the benefit of her explanation that it stemmed from her decision that social protest was a good thing to do) "Yours and Mine", plus "Green Eyes, Red Face" and "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore" from No Burden, and an up-tempo, guitar-propelled version of "La vie en rose".
