Making the transition into music, Poppy has not lost any of that endearing tendency towards the obscure. She was acked by a band sporting Kiss-esque makeup, her own garment looking as though it was ripped straight from the anime ‘Black Butler’. Poppy’s unique combination of gritty, metalcore riffs, with some truly bruising bass lines, offset by her sugary-sweet vocals that float like dandelion clocks by comparison, made for an undeniably otherworldly experience.
There was no chink in the armour here – Poppy’s character and real-life persona seemed to merge into one, creating an utterly convincing portrayal of a perfectly crafted girl, trapped inside a dark maelstrom of a world- indeed, exactly what Poppy’s infamous YouTube videos attempted to espouse.
Only this time, with a lot more riffs involved! Which is never a bad thing!
