IT WAS the perfect kind of strange – a fascinating blend of order and the surreal.

Steven Young's unique brand of psychedelic-infused, pop-laden, alt-indie is a welcome addition to the Scottish scene.

While he himself is no stranger there, having fronted The Imagineers years previously, he only started releasing tunes as a solo artist during lockdown.

Four tracks were released between 2020 and 2021, with a fifth – the impressive Delirious World – landing earlier this month.

Indeed, last Saturday's King Tut's show served as a bit of a release gig, but also as a showcase of the songwriter's solo work to date.

All five of his releases made the setlist, of course, along with some ear-catching performances of Creaky Bones, Black Gathers and Afterlife Icon.

Simply put, there are few if any that share a similar sound as Young. And with, at times, a seven-piece band on stage, it is a spectacle of a live show.

The perfect strange feel of the night was strengthened by two fantastic support acts in the form of Andrew Dickson and Fake Lips.

Both acts are as different to each other as they are to Young himself, and, somehow, it just worked.

Dickon's dulcet vocals and incredible pop sensibilities will ensure he is one to keep an eye on this year, while Fake Lips are as monstrous a duo as you will hear this year.

A mish-mash of performers, in one sense. But, also, just the perfect kind of strange.
