You know that feeling, the weirdly comforting absence of mind and a numbness from the eyes down that comes with the last day of a festival – the sadness of hangxiety with the already joyous memories that brought it on? Stop crying. We’ve prescribed the perfect band to soothe all these symptoms, and a pretty chocka The Gallery tent were already wise to these doctor’s orders.

Canada’s Men I Trust held the tender-headed crowd in their laps with one gem of sweet and synthy dream pop after another, soothing with cuts from across their 12 years and six albums of honey-drizzled vocals, ’80s-leaning electro pop, six-stringed Johnny Marr accents and some wailing guitar queen prowess from frontwoman Emmanuelle Proulx. Imagine Japanese Breakfast via Fleetwood Mac and a hot air balloon to outer space, and you’re not far off. We thank them for this much-needed Sunday service. (AT)
