Storm Babet threatens to make tonight’s show, the belated album launch for L.O.E’s debut, The World & Everything In It a washout. But the droves that make it to Hebden Bridge, despite the weather-beaten travel chaos, show that a bit of rain won’t stop northerners from having a good time.

Beneath the venue’s arched ceiling, Bristol’s Maebe amalgamate math, djent and post-rock across an action-packed 30 minutes. Michael Astley-Brown, the brainchild of the project, which is now starting to transition into a full band, leads from the front, his movements as energetic as the kaleidoscopic sounds his fingers conjure. The jaunty math grooves of Harsh Realm thrive in the live setting, while Tautology offers light and shade via eloquent and dynamic interplay between bandmembers. Atmospheric post-rock flavours sit at the heart of Maebe’s songwriting, but it’s their delicate seasoning of other sub-genres and styles that makes them so engaging. You Are The Host Now, named after the Zoom prompt to a random participant when the host’s connection drops, slithers through the venue with an unsettling demeanour. Astley-Brown’s playing is often incendiary, but here his minimalist melodies are hugely impressive, adding sweetness to the song’s sour tonality. It’s a successful first foray up north for the band as they build on their humble beginnings.
