Sean Murphy-O’Neill left ‘After You’ open to two readings. Alongside ‘Pause At You’ and ‘Namcy’, it reveals an album interested in direct songs with very different emotional consequences.

From 100 gecs to The Killers, Courting use recognisable pop signposts to make their songs feel like rooms in the same unruly universe.

Now, we've been saying how scorching our Dork 100 shows are but we'll be honest - we didn't think it would mean *this*. As the sun bakes London, the Sebright Arms is a melting pot primed for the sort of pop nonsense we've loved since Day 1. Sweaty nights in famous basements where your next favourite band is born have become our second home, and tonight is no different. In both Courting and Balancing Act you have artists who have gone on to play much bigger stages than this, making tonight extra special. Don't say we don't treat ya.
