After their tour with Tiersen, the band is looking towards playing Asia, Australia, and Carter’s native New Zealand, as well as a West Coast library tour that involves spoken-word lyric reading as well as music. Per the long line at the merch booth after their set, a lot of people were now saying “yes” to NO.

On this latest ∞ tour, Tiersen produced a sort of soundtrack to a never-ending journey. In addition to the music, Tiersen had his own lamps to produce warmer colors on stage.
The journey started off with ‘Meteorites,’ featuring a full reading vocals by Arab Strap’s Aidan Moffat. Once the full song was played back did the band launched into ‘Slippery Stones,’ and proceeded to play various tracks from ∞.
In similar fashion, particularly the Icelandic track ‘Ar Maen Bihan,’ the band played live music over Amiina’s pre-recorded vocals. While this sounded fine on stage, hearing live vocals would probably sounded much better.

Surprisingly very few tracks (‘La Dispute’ and ‘Sur Le Fil’) were taken from his famous Amelie album, but to be fair, the songs probably didn’t fit with the atmosphere of this latest ∞ show.
The thing you should note about Yann Tiersen is that he’s a very talented musician. He can play almost any instrument (toy piano, violin, melodica, carillon, keyboard, bells, guitars, etc.), take for instance his ability to seamlessly make the Cedar's house piano sound incredible with ‘La Longue Route.’
Note: Although ‘Le Quartier’ is listed on the setlist as part of a double encore, the band did not re-appear to play the song.
