In Photos: Still Corners + The Luyas @ Café OTO, London (10.10.11)

Cinematic dream poppers Still Corners launched their debut album, Creatures of An Hour (currently streaming over on Sub Pop's SoundCloud page), with an intimate Monday night show at Dalston's Café OTO. While at times on the night the band – which centres around the interplay between chief songwriter Greg Hughes and singer Tessa Murray – may have struggled slightly to translate their expansive, reverb-heavy sound, it was nevertheless hard not to fall for the seductive charms of songs like 'The White Season', 'Endless Summer' and recent lead single 'Cuckoo'. As winter approaches, you could do worse than draw the curtains and settle down with a copy of Creatures... for company.

Opening act The Luyas presented an altogether more intriguing proposition. Armed to the teeth with all manner of instruments – including a French horn, a Moodswinger (Google it!) and vast banks of keyboards – the Dead Oceans-signed Canadians certainly weren't intent on simply going through the support-slot motions. Their confident, energetic set drew heavily from February's shapeshifting Too Beautiful to Work LP, and left our photographer Tim Ferguson wanting more.
