There are few finer things in life than watching Pom Poko frontwoman Ragnhild Fankel unleash her inner Nigel Tufnel, conducting a squall of feedback with a manic grin. It’s this playfulness and lack of vanity that makes the Oslo band so endearing, and musically, they’re no slouches, either.

Playing tracks from their glorious new third album, Champion, along with old favourites, they’re an infectious lot to witness. Breakout hit ‘My Blood’ from debut Birthday, is key to their sound. It’s a dizzying paradox of pyrotechnics and poise. It’s all about the shredding guitar from Martin Tonne, polyrhythmic drumming from Ola Djupvik, and Jonas Krovel’s propulsive bass, with Fangel’s angelic yelp running counter to the noise.

‘Follow The Lights’ is a more teasing proposition, and ‘Like A Lady’, from Cheater, slows the pace down a little, but they’re too restless to keep still for too long. There’s even a protracted section of feedback that would give a young Thurston Moore a bonk-on. Waitrose Indie, this ain’t.

The latest album may be less frenetic than previously, but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to stroke the mainstream quite yet. ‘Go’ sounds like they chewed up and spat out the entire Black Sabbath back catalogue; ‘My Family’ is a pop punk powder keg, and ‘Champion’ is irresistibly catchy, while still baring its teeth. Business as usual, then. It’s always a pleasure to see one of the finest Bella Union acts around – indeed, one of the best bands around, full stop.
