Hoyt Sherman Place was host to a dynamic, fervent and extremely danceable show from one of alternative-rock’s most consistent acts and a crowd-pleasing opener.

Opener Lewis Del Mar resembled Young the Giant in energy and general vibe, but had less reliance on big, pop hooks, though he featured an interesting combination of acoustic and digital sounds and instruments.

A tepid audience was brought to their feet during the roaring climax of “Malt Liquor” before being treated to set-closer, “Loud(y).”

Young the Giant wasted no time, immediately jumping into new tracks “Jungle Youth” and “Something to Believe In.” “I Got” followed directly afterwards, a fan-favorite as evident by the melodic chants from the audience.

The rest of the set featured a combination of old and new, with an evident priority on the group’s newest album, “Home of the Strange,” with all 12 tracks from the album being performed.

“Pain is such an interesting phenomenon. It isn’t pleasant, but it’s what makes us feel alive,” said frontman Sameer Gadhia before starting the ukulele-lead “Art Exhibit.”

The group’s stage design was also an attractive sight, featuring a dynamic backdrop that switched between an image of mountains and starry skies to best accompany the mood. They would occasionally strobe single colors to flood the senses of the audience. The fictional flags from the cover of “Home of the Strange” also lined the edges of the stage.

The lighting was best utilized during “Home of the Strange” cut, “Titus Was Born,” which saw a dramatic spotlight fall onto Gadhia before a star filled background.

“Amerika” and “Silvertongue” served as an opening to the group’s encore before ending with the group’s debut single, “My Body,” which had the entire crowd moving.

“This is a beautiful venue, Hoyt Sherman. Thanks for having us,” Gadhia said.
