That this Berlin-based quartet are amassing a cult following is self-evident tonight. Showcasing their second album Rules , their delectable, sparse disco-funk is fused with metronomic guitar pop. ‘1517’ indie hooks intertwine with the Balearic club sound that made Friendly Fires such a sumptuous proposition of late.

Willowy frontman Erland Oye’s in playful mood tonight, mastering an air trumpet solo , while the band’s hybrid sound shifts constantly, mixing velvety lounge-style electro with that whiff of the Ibiza vibe.

‘Courage’ incites a crowd seizure and the electro-melancholic ‘Figures’ exhibits the diversity of the band’s material. ‘Signature Burning’’s sparse, slick simplistic beats typify their sometimes tinny sound on record, but soaring synths allow the song to bloom on stage. All told, WBA are pretty seductive tonight.
