Hip-hop's Daisy Age was fairly short-lived. The late-80s strain of whimsical, positivist, new age rap purveyed by De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest was largely in retreat by the early 90s, relegated to the margins by the inexorable rise of G-Funk and gangsta rap.

Twenty years on, female Seattle duo THEESatisfaction patently take their cues from Daisy Age surrealism, both musically and visually. They make a striking pair: MC and rapper Stasia Irons may be relatively understated tonight beneath a baseball cap, but singer Catherine Harris-White is a vision in blaxploitation-chic leopardskin strides and spectacular afro.

After a slew of independent EPs and mixtapes, their recent Sub Pop-released debut album proper, awE naturalE, is a mellifluous melange of jazz, funk and soul-inflected hip-hop. It's a luscious, layered affair, with Harris-White's honeyed tones on tracks such as Deeper recalling the sensuous mid-90s neo-soul of Jill Scott and Erykah Badu.

Live, they weave beguiling spells despite the restrictive format of being two women dancing in front of a laptop. Romantic as well as musical partners, Irons and Harris-White intuit each other's every move as they segue neatly from personal-political numbers such as On What It Means to Be Black and Bisexual Courting in Red Square to the party call-to-arms that is QueenS: "Leave your face at the door/ Check your swag."

"We're the queens of the stoned age," murmur the pair as they ooze into the languid naturalE towards the end of a low-key but decidedly alluring set. THEESatisfaction will be soundtracking a lot of dinner parties soon: we shouldn't hold it against them.
