I can't get enough of this song. This is exactly what I've been waiting to hear as a metal/death metal musician; unabashed talent, blended together just right, that still carries tremendous appeal to someone without a musical background through being just so tasteful. Artistic integrity is not only retained, but the passion to create it is brought forth in the mix and this video shows it. Just... wow.
Sorry for the delay on the album guys. We are finishing up mixing as we speak. Expect a ton of videos coming down the pipeline at the beginning of the new year! -LT
This music makes me want to get in a shitty car and drive all over the country... fall in love... and fall asleep next to a bottle of wine in a place I've never been with a person I hardly know.. but strongly believe I'll want to...
Thanks Tosin for the shout out! and also all of your kind comments. Little Tybee is planning a US tour for March / April with a stop at SXSW. If you wish to stay up to date please send your email address to littletybee@gmail.com and we will let you know our happenings. Be on the lookout for our next album to be released March 2012! -LT
Just stumbled upon this looking for 8 string guitar videos - what a find! This is awesome. Love the chord change in the intro absolutely beautiful. Incredible playing all round and a fantastic song. Captivating and gorgeous.
So amazing. I can not stop listening to these guys. Keep an eye out for a new 8 string monster that I'm building him. Just about one of the proudest moments will be hearing this music on an instruments that I've built him. All the members of the band are really great people. SPREAD THE WORD about these guys!!!!!
I found Martin's glitch tapping technique pretty dull on the video showcasing him on Ibanez but hearing the same technique put in a 🎵 context here is damn impressive which goes normally quite the opposite way for 🎸 techniques..
It's nice seeing a guitarist using an 8 string guitar creatively like this and not just chugging away at it like all of the modern metal bands seem to do these days.
Not every "modern metal" band chugs on the 8 string as I said in my comment, but I was just slightly exaggerating to prove the point that a lot of modern metal is just down-tuning and simple chuggalug. But hey it's a pointless conversation to have and I apologize for even starting it, let's just enjoy Little Tybee.
looking forward to seeing you guys for the first time tomorrow. Came here to check you out although Roswell River Sounds generally have great picks but now im super excited!!!
We haven't changed the name and it has made the cut, but, alas, we've had some delays in getting our new record out. 'Hearing Blue' was originally on our first record 'Building A Bomb'. This version of 'Hearing Blue' will be on our new record 'For Distant Viewing' due out in July'ish. Also, just wanted to say that we appreciate you and everyone else who's eager for the next album. Your patience and fanship does not go unnoticed. :) -Pat/LT
this video is really cool, its nice to see how sound capture happens for once not just to hear it finished, though in your case of this its great to hear to, keep up the good work
Funny how everybody says that Tosin got you into this band via Facebook, I got into this band Via Twitter, YES, they started following me Yesterday and i had to check out their music How cool is That?? Little Tybee #FTW
Thanks for your question. So, to dispel some of the confusion about this particular song and the album it will be released on: 'Hearing Blue' was originally recorded on our independent release "Building A Bomb" back in 2009. This updated version will be on our new album "For Distant Viewing" which will be out early 2013. Production setbacks have delayed the release, but we promise the record will be done soon. We're planning a few US tours for 2013 as well. Thanks ya'll :)
I actually asked Josh this VERY question last night. He had no idea about no butterfly tapping! I personally think it may have something to do with the bassist moving his hands like a butterfly. Anyways, everyone, go see this band live! They are on tour and are the coolest people ever.
@humoroustobees Please, for the love of all that is holy, put up a tab and/or a instructional video of how to play this song on 8-string guitar! This is one of the best songs i've ever heard, and i just bought a 8-string, so i'd love to learn how to play it! :)
I'm wondering if these guys took any inspiration from Stephen Wilson and Porcupine Tree, some of their more ambient segments gives me that feel, anyone know better than me? I've just discovered these guys.
Abso-fucking-lutely :) SW was also inspired by classic prog as well, which you can clearly feel here too... Although not in a manner that shows lack of originality, but the absolute opposite of that. Love them!
Hipsters as Leaders
Animals as Hipsters
Putte Suprmodl hahahaha!!!!
This..... hahaha!
this song is better than anything AAL will ever do, but he has an 8 string so you have that part right.
Turdsplosion AAL to Little Tybee is like apples to oranges. Both are fantastic in their own right.
The sound balance is astonishing! Everything fits so perfectly together!

We love you.
Your group is full of retards, literally unlikeable. 9 likes on a JMartin vid lol, get fucked
Mugenloo and what have you been doing with your life?
Was that directed towards us? Mugenloo? Josh kicks ass. Either way, go find something better to do then talk shit on the internet.
The guy watching Josh play from 2:34 on is hilarious. Exactly how I feel whenever I listen to Josh too, buddy. Hahaha.
This music makes me want to get in a shitty car and drive all over the country... fall in love... and fall asleep next to a bottle of wine in a place I've never been with a person I hardly know.. but strongly believe I'll want to...
GuitarGear1 do it, nothing’s stopping you.
What a killer intro!!! OMF....
All of their music is this great........

I always come back to this song - 10/10
Sooo FN glad I found these guys! These dudes, The Contortionist, Intronaut, were my finds of the year!
HDDrummer
Are you up to date on The Contortionist's latest, Clairvoyant?
THIS IS PERFECTION youre like if animals as leaders had a baby with local natives
srsly great work on everyone in this video i love it
I am glad someone else felt the Local Natives vibe.
More like Local Natives with Young the Giants open session stuff
Exactly!
Definitely something with his voice
The Dear Hunter vibes as well. I think it's the singer and violin.
Just stumbled upon this looking for 8 string guitar videos - what a find! This is awesome. Love the chord change in the intro absolutely beautiful. Incredible playing all round and a fantastic song. Captivating and gorgeous.

So amazing. I can not stop listening to these guys. Keep an eye out for a new 8 string monster that I'm building him. Just about one of the proudest moments will be hearing this music on an instruments that I've built him. All the members of the band are really great people. SPREAD THE WORD about these guys!!!!!
Musical Geniuses. Please come to Chicago!
So damn talented I'm not sure if I feel driven or depressed by this
Driven, always driven.
I found Martin's glitch tapping technique pretty dull on the video showcasing him on Ibanez but hearing the same technique put in a 🎵 context here is damn impressive which goes normally quite the opposite way for 🎸 techniques..
Man, watching Josh play guitar is so awesome.
I'm so glad I found this! Beautiful, just beautiful.
Mind blown forever.
It's nice seeing a guitarist using an 8 string guitar creatively like this and not just chugging away at it like all of the modern metal bands seem to do these days.
Not defending crap metal, but can you list 5 bands that do just chug 8 strings of the top of your head?
Fear Factory if they are still around. That's one.

I like the chugging :*(

This is awesome. You are playing a 25 minute walk from my home in two days, I will see you there.

LOVE this!
Could you guys still play "Palace of Versailles" from way back in the days of the Brock Scott Trio? I always liked that song.
Funny how everybody says that Tosin got you into this band via Facebook, I got into this band Via Twitter, YES, they started following me Yesterday and i had to check out their music How cool is That?? Little Tybee #FTW
I want to learn how to play this song on guitar sooo bad, so I just might have to take some of those lessons!
Now that they've grown up
They have spoiled everything
And now they are starting to hear the colours
Beautiful lyrics, worked them all out :D
I would love to hear an instrumental version!
+1 fan.
this deserves more views
Fruckin' awesome. Hottest violin player EVER
I envy your arrangement ability. Inspiring, honestly.
What a beautiful ending.
This band grows on you. Josh Martin should do a solo side project though. I'd like that more.
so much talent. I'm speechless... quote George Takei, "Ohhhh Myyyy..."
This is actually so brilliant guys, let me know as soon as the album comes out!
That tapping.... omfg....
Amazing!!!! Josh... You play that 8 string guitar like you have 15 fingers!!!!

stanley jordan + maps and atlases+ the beatles? whatever this is, I LOVE IT
@langestock @JobForAMaxboy He is that great. It's hard for the camera to catch most of what he does...
I actually asked Josh this VERY question last night. He had no idea about no butterfly tapping! I personally think it may have something to do with the bassist moving his hands like a butterfly.
Anyways, everyone, go see this band live! They are on tour and are the coolest people ever.

They reek of originality are a great find! Thanks for the response!
sd123a6 You might know, in Raven Tat Refused To Sing I feel strong inspiration taken from Yes, could it be?
Or Radiohead, or a number of others
