After creeping out almost unnoticed, the Swedish indie-pop octet began where they left off in 2004.

With a set of jangling, summery tunes, the band drew an indistinguishable line under the sweetly melancholic material of their self-titled debut album with the sweetly melancholic material of recently-released second album In Colour.

With upbeat former hit You Can't Hurry Love and forthcoming single On The Radio, The 'Cretes managed to encourage some movement from the audience. But the majority of the show consisted of songs more suited to hazy August evenings spent lazily admiring the sunset.

Lead singer Victoria Bergsman, whose vocals held a lispy romantic quality akin to the sound of Fifties singing starlets, became all the more endearing through her between-song broken English.

However, the band sounded best when female guitarist Maria Eriksson joined Bergsman to create a stunning vocal duet reminiscent of Abba and drummer Lisa Milberg's vocals took top marks on a delicate acoustic encore number.

Finishing with the cheerful, mandolin-led waltz Warm Night, The Concretes proved they are at the top of the game where lush, whimsical guitar-pop is concerned, although their failure to change the musical formula might mean future album and ticket sales won't add up.
