The Royal College of Art is possibly the most perfect place to see Mat Riviere perform. The Brainlove man’s performances are like art installations in themselves as Mat pouring his agonised thoughts and feelings into three-and-a-half minute masterpieces of lo-fi laptop, synth and pedal-based electronica, dividing the audience into camps of complete immersion and total bafflement. Backed by archly theatrical alt-pop duo Octagon Court, this one is a voyeuristic spectacle not to be missed.
