Susanna & The Magical Orchesta - The Borderline - 25/11/09

I managed to sneak in a flying visit at the end of November to the Borderline to see Susanna & The Magical Orchestra. My notes tell me their set was sparse, hushed, echoey and synth-led. Susanna's vocals were as pure and crystalline as on record. 'Guiding Star' recalled the ethereal quality of The Cocteau Twins and they played their ACDC, Joy Division and Leonard Cohen covers (no 'Crazy, Crazy Nights by Kiss sadly though).
