Hey! Is there a way to listen to Sungazer somewhere but Spotify? It's not availible in my Country and your band is unique, I really want to listen to your music
Also, question for you and Adam: how did you go about writing this song? Edit: Adam literally just released a video on how to write a song like this like 5 seconds after I asked this. Well, that was fast, thanks Adam!
@@georgerussell2947 I get what you're saying, but it's not wrong to refer to them as triplets. Each main pulse is subdivided into three, so if you feel it that way, which I do, they are triplets. It is true that you could say a bar is nine notes and refer to them as nontuplets, but I don't think that is as accurate, at least it's not the way I feel this meter.
@@Hennu_TRM you can feel it either way really as Adam himself showed, either as triplets in 3/4 or nontuplets in 4/4, I personally feel the triplets like you do.
I apologize for my ignorance, but why? What happens on January 7? I'm also asking because my birthday is on that day :D Also, hello, I know you! You're that bassist I subscribed to some time ago. Nice to see you here!

There’s an automated track running from the laptop on the synth. If you look the bass (pls don’t be mad I don’t know that instrument) player plays the synth a couple times but he has to play his instrument, too.
I don't know what this says about me, but I wasn't too sure what I thought about this piece when I heard the original video recording on Adam's channel. I knew that it was called "Drunk", so even I realised that the lurching sense of dissonance and chaos was deliberate. I just didn't know whether I liked it. Now I've SEEN you play it, though, I love it. It's great. I have a much clearer sense of its structure, purpose, and aesthetic. Guess, I'm an inadequate listener or something, but, yes, watching the performance really helped me to interpret and appreciate the sounds I was hearing. Thanks, Shawn!
Same for me, I just scrubbed throu the Animated Video, but didn't quite got a hold of it what it was all about. I did not really catch the tune ... But seeing it live performed makes really a huge difference.
Even though I love the animations Ben Levin made for the studio recording, I have to say watching you playing it live is IMO twice as better. Maybe I have a bias towards it because my favorite version of Sequence Start is the one you did Live with MIDI-controlled visuals. Watching you both recreate the whole sound live has is own kind of magic, and if you combine that astonishingly beautiful performance with a incredible mixing (Specially on the drums and bass) is a combination hard to defeat. Thanks for existing.
This is legitimately one of my favorite songs. I listen to it daily. It scratches every tension and release, tone, technicality, and rhythm itch I have. Good job boys.
For me these rhythms actually feel pretty natural. inb4 alcoholic, but I'm busy with rhythms for the biggest part of the day (drummers curse I guess), and I also love to tap along with music in odd timings that somehow still feel to make sense.
You should dive into Indian music, the rhythms used there also feel odd and irregular to our western ear, but are (very) well developed, complex and intricate (and difficult to master :)).
same here my dude, i end up playing in odd time time signatures a lot of the time because it's so fun to experience the different sort of rhythms that come up that i would've never otherwise thought of
I really love some of the little bass licks Adam plays in this version that's not on the studio version. Very talented you guys and love your vids Adam!
This is certainly my new source of inspiration for music and my own music making. Incredible, such a unique sound, please keep this up. Very inspiring! Thank you.
I would really like to see the sheet music for this. I've been drumming for a year and a half and I don't exactly understand how you're feeling/counting this. I think trying something like this could be a great opportunity to learn new things.
the more I listen to this, the more I understand it and like it. I rarely like music that has a charged, heavy, messy sound but this song is such a flawless union of chaos and order, imprecision and perfection.
This is just fucking amazing!!!! I can't get enough of this!! Props to Shawn for those nearly impossible drum patterns, and also to Adam for those amazing details like the distorted vocals, the amazing arpeggios, etc...Incredible work guys!
When watching/listening to this I feel like I’m watching people way smarter than me having a very intricate musical conversation with words way outside my vocabulary. It’s very fascinating. Truthfully at first listen/glance it was a little difficult for me to enjoy, but after watching Adam’s video and having a better understanding of what’s going on in the song I definitely have a greater appreciation for it and find it more enjoyable since I feel like I’ve been a little more informed on this musical conversation. I really like the ideas and concepts being expressed, it was just hard for me to catch on to and understand intuitively. But very nice work!
I just saw Sungazer live, and yep, it's like being in a room full of people who are way smarter than you, talking about things you barely understand, but they're nice enough to pause and help you keep up now and then. I left the show with my brain buzzing with new ideas, all trying to connect with each other.
I can tell Adam plays lightly with his right hand (pause) because the tone he uses, I feel like it wouldn't work with a harder touch. Really great and precise playing!
Oooof that's really trippy and really good. Not the music you would dance to, but get drunk and contemplate life and phylosophy ^^ Has a tom waits vibe to it
Brilliant harmony, rythms and well balanced music form,guys. You are great.I liked it so much.I wish you to keep your creativity this way as long as possible.

@@WhaleInTheSkies Bandcamp
@@WhaleInTheSkies also Googleplay music I believe
How do you remember all those syncopated notes???? Like ur a frikkin god!!!!
This piece is like the exact moment when you breach the thin line between being gleefully drunk and the depressive state of life contemplation.
Omg. Exactly! Hahaha
I concur
For me that is the line between being drunk and being sober.
(I am ALWAYS a happy drunk.)
Is that all there is?
for me it's like oh im fine and drunk then i want to puke and life sucks then again i'm fine and drunk
1:37 That bass lick is so goodddddd
Surely it is. On the other hand it is so "that typical low-fi neosoul chord" )
Maj 7 I think

9:4 polyrhythm or something
I'll never get over this drum groove at 0:46
Watching Neely just RIP on his bass brings me joy.
Dustin Clark Rest In Peace Adam we miss you, oh wait that’s not what you meant
Those 808’s on the drums are SO badass
These two videos for Drunk are getting me so damn excited for January 7...
Same!!

@@gaetanodepaola2ndchannel179 hey birthday twin
So much for the "play sober" advice. Ha!
Literally thought this exact same thing
Performong music sober is almost always the best choice, but writing music on the other hand...
@@sydnnywartelle8541 Musicians the world over disagree with you.
Flacid House tell that to primus, they make most of there music on hallucinogens
@@MaladyKayjo Well that isn't true and you don't know what you're talking about.
the real drum and bass
You can totally see the red in Adam's cheeks from the wine. Haha
Wine is love
Wine is life
I do redden from alcohol too, we just can't hide it!
1:04 Adam's beast mode activated.
It’s so cool how I can almost hear it in both 4/4 and 3/4
Hey that guy is my music theory teacher!
you are damn lucky
pretty crazy that this is only two people, it totally sounds like a trio. Great job, and hella inspiring, especially after Adam's recent video.
Well, part of that trio sound is because of the synth playback. They're still super talented, though.
There’s an automated track running from the laptop on the synth. If you look the bass (pls don’t be mad I don’t know that instrument) player plays the synth a couple times but he has to play his instrument, too.

This shit grooves so hard man
This is incredible, could hear a whole Concert in this style
Sungazer has a new EP coming on January 7, 2019! You can help us a lot by pre-saving the album on Spotify: bit.ly/2C2iIRN
Is it going to be on Apple music?
V cool as my birthday is on that day! Can't wait to jam it
Yes.@@jacobcomiskey9597
Hi Shawn! Will you by chance release it on bandcamp, the EP?
@@neerithedragon298 Yes, preorder is live on bandcamp now!
"After chugging the wine... Classy move Adam."
- Adam Neely
drums sound incredible in that space
Its physically impossible to not sway to this stone groove
Phenomenal live performance for what seems like a very technical song
This song gives off humid summer night vibes. Both relaxing and peaceful but energetic and uncomfortable in a good way i love it so much
dude, you are one of the best drummers I have ever heard in my entire life. Keep up the good fucking work, man.
Flying Lotus vibes
Lukashenko3 heavy hiatus kaiyote / Tigran hamasyan vibes for sure
I'm sorry, you meant Dying Fetus?
Way better than any of those groups
@@Snowbound2643 How?
3:20
I think the cameraman is drunk too
Drunk - the song that makes you feel exactly that.
somehow, with its nonuplets that feel like non-tuplets.
Adam Neely the modulation part you talked about makes me feel like when you think now you are allright but then once again you want to vomit
One of my favourite pieces of music ever
This is legitimately one of my favorite songs. I listen to it daily. It scratches every tension and release, tone, technicality, and rhythm itch I have. Good job boys.
Stuff never gets old... I still compulsively listen to Sungazer music to this day. I'm hoping you two would make more Sungazer jams!
i'm not sure I hold a vocabulary eclectic enough to be able to describe just how fantastic I find Sungazer's music to be.
this drummer is nutsssss
I love the change-up of minimalism to some crazy bass line or drumming. Tasty!
For me these rhythms actually feel pretty natural. inb4 alcoholic, but I'm busy with rhythms for the biggest part of the day (drummers curse I guess), and I also love to tap along with music in odd timings that somehow still feel to make sense.
haha! i do that too man, just can't help it sometimes. its like taking a little stroll off the beaten path of the song
You should dive into Indian music, the rhythms used there also feel odd and irregular to our western ear, but are (very) well developed, complex and intricate (and difficult to master :)).
@@mire1ac could you give me an artist name except for daler mehndi? :P

Same here!
This video appeared in my "Recommended" videos section. I'm so glad I decided to give it a watch. Brilliant musicianship, wonderful song crafting.
Adam Neely totally undersold this one. Flat out masterpiece. I couldn't do this sober..
DrUnK swings so good my dad likes it.
I really love some of the little bass licks Adam plays in this version that's not on the studio version. Very talented you guys and love your vids Adam!
I honestly love this version over the one put in the album ❤
Same honestly!
I'm in love with these live sessions, they sound way more cool with real drumset imo!
I fucking love this song
Yes... This is phenomenal. Absolutely loving the bass tone.
I shall certainly be purchasing the EP tomorrow.
Shawn Crowder is so good omfg
This is certainly my new source of inspiration for music and my own music making. Incredible, such a unique sound, please keep this up. Very inspiring! Thank you.
Just ran across this listening to Legs on Earth. This was just outstanding. Chops to spare!! I'm a Drunk fan now.
Can't stop listening to this!!!
I would really like to see the sheet music for this. I've been drumming for a year and a half and I don't exactly understand how you're feeling/counting this. I think trying something like this could be a great opportunity to learn new things.
Check Adam Neely's channel, he just put up a whole video about it! (With charts, kinda!)
Someone get June Lee in here
Nine tuplets.. in a triplet feel
Go watch his video
It’s maskin in 4/4 but I’m not sure the actual time sig
the more I listen to this, the more I understand it and like it. I rarely like music that has a charged, heavy, messy sound but this song is such a flawless union of chaos and order, imprecision and perfection.
Thank you for this, so rich and colorful...
This is SOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The groove at 2:26 is lovely.
A lot tempo changes,tone modulation,FX on your drumset,VST,electric drumpads...BRO AMAZING!!!!!!!!
This is just fucking amazing!!!! I can't get enough of this!! Props to Shawn for those nearly impossible drum patterns, and also to Adam for those amazing details like the distorted vocals, the amazing arpeggios, etc...Incredible work guys!
This song has been a titan in pushing me to work with 5's and 10's. Thank you Shawn and Adam. A weekly jam for me.

Oh come on, it's not *that* bad! 😜
great song for that sluggish second half of summer
pfiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuu rythmes makes me feel so high !! great job!!
Genuinely freaking awesome. Not only is the concept just totally amazing, but so is the playing. You guys are on the forefront of a new era.
I like this version just a little bit better
I can tell Adam plays lightly with his right hand (pause) because the tone he uses, I feel like it wouldn't work with a harder touch. Really great and precise playing!
Love the sound of those 16" crashes as hi hats.
It’s stock in my head since i first listen to it! Congrats on that amazing song!
Shawn you're an absolute best, I have no idea how you manage to play this track. Really hyped for the album!
Wow, what is this magic? Really just wonderful.
very cool ...love the drumming!!
That drum sound is fucking killer! I get the shivers when I hear that first snare hit.
Reminds me of the feeling I get when I listen to Homeshake too....excellent musicians here! Love it!
Very impressive music Shawn. Jewel found - confirmed. Thanks!
Kcheesys! pretty amazing. Didn't listened to Jazz kinda stuff for too long, I guess. Time to listen to it now....
I loved it so much
Mind blown 🤯😁
Thanks, i just want to drum now!
So good!
So on point. One of the best pieces I've heard in years.
This reminds me of An Endless Sporadic a little bit. Great work!
Crazy awesome drumming!
wicked groove and the drums sound so tasty!
the first "chord progression"/section gives me chills! Such a chill sound that fits so well :D
Totally unexpected, love it very much.
Just thought I would check out you guys from Adam's channel.. I'm hooked.
That drum groove is fucking fantastic
Such a sick drum groove
very fresh and humble
Simply badass, boys!
Really nice work. Love it.
This is SO good.
Oooof that's really trippy and really good. Not the music you would dance to, but get drunk and contemplate life and phylosophy ^^
Has a tom waits vibe to it
This is seriously awesome music!!! Can´t wait for the new EP!!!
Brilliant piece !!
The mood is perfect!
This is brilliant!
Brilliant harmony, rythms and well balanced music form,guys. You are great.I liked it so much.I wish you to keep your creativity this way as long as possible.
Wow, you can really hear the 3/4 in both Your and Adam's playing, the subtle accent really cuts through the nontuplet groove.
Man, the studio version is good, but THIS, geez. This is so much better.
Feels like a wonderful amalgamation of Jaga Jazzist, Flying Lotus and Thundercat with some 808s, fantastic playing.
Wow, what a captivating feel. I just want to sway "drunkenly". Sick!
