SUNSCREEN with LORELEI at Oxford Arts Factory 26th November

Nov 30

It was a very warm night on the 26th of November at the Oxford Art Factory. Everyone took their seats and I could feel their excitement on this Thursday night for some great live music as they patiently waited for the show to start. The heat was rising as the second show of the night commenced with the lovely dream pop band Lorelei taking the stage.

Their dark and dreamy sound echoed through the room that sent chills through the audience. They played through a 30 minute set with some powerful tracks and the voice of Claudia Schmidt was so strong that it engaged the crowd instantly with its haunting charm. Their songs take you away to a fantasy place that you can only find in your dreams, so dreamy but yet so dark in a way. I could think of no better way to start off the night than with this incredible band.

The lights were dim when Sunscreen took the stage with their powerful presence that caught the attention of everyone in the room. As they started playing their first song, i could see the crowd in total bliss, like a sea of happiness- these people were here to enjoy the incredible sounds of this band as they swayed in their seats. This was my second time seeing Sunscreen and they will never disappoint as I could sit in that venue and listen to them play all night. The dreamy sounds mixed with indie that they played radiated to the audience and the vibes were just great throughout their set. This band have so much talent when it comes to creating songs and damn, do they put on one hell of a dreamy experience with their live performance.

I could think of no better way to spend a Thursday night than with these two incredible bands who both dominated the stage with their amazing dreamy sounds and catchy melodies. For the second show of the night, they carried it out perfectly and the audience loved every second of it.
