SUPPORT HAKEN

With the results of the UK’s general election rolling in, it doesn’t take much more than a look at our phones, social media feeds or news coverage on TV to feel affected by emotional conflict and political tension. But over at the Roundhouse in London, sanctuary appears in the form of a Canadian enigma in a Hawaiian shirt, armed with a kaleidoscope of progressive sounds. Not to crushing heaviness. Metallic death-roars operatic grandeur. Light relief tear-jerking intimacy. Cuddly toys thoughtful meditations on mental health. And such pearls of insight as: “I smell like a yak’s balls!”
