Electric Picnic 2007
Oppenheimer

Describe In Three Words: Oooooh, afternoon delight.

Remarkable Moment: We join our heroes just as Shaun introduces 'Breakfast In NYC'. There's a huge cheer of acknowledgement, which is lovely to hear. People care about this band and they're relishing a chance to win over floating voters. Sounding more frantic than usual (an indication of whats to come on album #2, apparantly), Oppenheimer cram as many would-be pop anthems as is humanly possible into a beautifully formed set. 'This Is A Test' and even forthcoming single 'Look Up' seem incredibly familiar to all - further proof that this band only deal in the catchiest pop nuggets known to man. Some day they'll rule the world. For now, Electric Picnic will have to do.

Crowd Reaction: Reassuringly enthusiastic.

EP Rating: 8
