He's honestly probably the most talented musician I've seen in a while. I mean, there's tons of other wonderful, and talented musicians out there, but nothing that strikes my attention like Kishi does. Such a beautiful performance, like always. The albums are beautiful, but have to say he plays even more beautiful live. I've already seen him three times -- and each and every damn time I see him, it's just more amazing than the last, truly is an experience. So happy he's getting noticed, because if there's any musician out there right now, Kishi's the one who truly deserves it all. Love you, Kishi!
it's become a habit to watch full performances live on kexp and i realized that cheryl is my favourite host. whenever i hear her voice at the beginning of the video i'm like yayyy it's her.
andrew bird + sufjan stevens + kevin barnes + owen pallett + grizzly bear + folksy vampire weekend blended with sonic virtuoso perfect pitch indie pop bliss = kishi bashi
Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to experience this incredible music for the first time! Couple weeks ago Philosophize in it... came on to my Spotify running mix and been enthralled ever since!
Some of the greatest musicians alive right now. KB's albums are near sonic perfection and a completely immersive listen. It's amazing how well they translate live too thanks to the all the DL4 magic :D

Sofía Lvado she's always so genuine and interested in the guests unlike some of the other hosts
your profile picture is such a throwback
Never heard of this guy, but he definitely earned a fan here. I love it!
I start all of my conversations with “Have you heard of Kishi Bashi?”
That banjo player is Tall Tall Trees and I once got drunk with him.

Absolute Truth!! Now I need to look up Grizzly Bear, Kevin Barnes, and Owen Pallett. The rest are already faves! Thanks for the recommend.
@@mommabyrdify Kevin Barnes = of Montreal and Owen pallett = final fantasy
saw Kishi Bashi at Red Rocks last night. what a great show! so much great energy. this same song performed and amped up the max. so good.
I was there

wow.....I searched for him to see if his live concert would be as good as his album. It totally is and more. Thanks KEXP.
Incredible. The sound that he and the band make together, makes something so beautiful and audibly interesting that you can't help but get chills.

There were was a more "pop" feel to Lighght, but I'm glad he picked the pretty ones for this performance.
Vampire Weekend meets Low Roar . . . ? not talking derivative at all, just comes to mind.
So I know that this is absolutely the wrong crowd for this, but sploosh, right?
sparkleysr1983 Sploosh, definitely sploosh

Some might remember a group called Poi Dog Pondering.
Does he have an affiliation with Poi Dog Pondering?
Is that guy putting a banjo through distortion?
Damn straight. He does by Tall Tall Trees. Check out his music when you get the chance!
