this is seriously good stuff. what a musicality. its the first time i see who plays it. The music seemed like old stuff made now. Nice sintetizado, really amazing voice, suprising. Keep going. Bravo!
Yeah, the live recordings I've seen haven't been great. His vocals always seems sketchy...don't think there is any avoiding it. I saw them at a festival last summer and they sounded great...even his vocals were good.
Does anyone know how they make the trumpet sound so full? Are they synthesizing other horns on one of the keyboards? Damn they sound awesome. Love this band
Jin J me too my friend me too. Hey but if you liked Smith Westerns check out Cullen Omori's solo stuff his sound has kinda stayed the same since the break up.
the interview would be a lot less awkward without the interviewers facial expression, Julien seemed more creeped out that purposefully rude or anything
You guitar heads and your "tone". Honestly, it has a lot to do with the room that they're playing in and the choices of the sound engineer. The knobs can only do so much..
I think I read that the touring was just too intense they were at it for like a year and went through like two drummers I believe, one of them being him
I think Ruban said in an interview that the age gap between him and the bassist with Max caused a slight conflict in the band whilst touring due to personal differences. They're clearly still on good terms tho cause Whitney toured with UMO
Having a drummer as the lead singer seems to make all the other elements really intricate. It makes such a good sound!
Bryn Jenkins had no idea the singer was the drummer
Yes, it's like this integration that happens...
One of the most underrated bands out for sure...Love these dudes so much!!!
Matty Bee underrated? They are pretty successful man
Their performances sounds so much better in this setting!
Golden days is such a good song, that guitar sound is so nice
The trumpet and nah nah nah at end is one of my favorite musical moments of the last decade
I could watch kakacek play all day. Total genius, underrated guitar player.
Finally! I've been waiting for this one to be uploaded
deadasamau5 yeah you are right!! The sound is amazing and this band is so fresh!! 😋
nicolas etrab I really enjoyed seeing them live in the summertime
this band takes me to my happy place!! Fresh , new sound and makes me smile and dance !
Saw these guys live in feb 2020 in an old church. They're incredible live. Still one of my all time favorite bands!
Thank you KEXP for the upload... this is now my best way to discover bands that are not well represented in our old Europe...😁
id highly recommend downloading spotify! :)
kexp always bring good bands
thank you for taking me an octave higher to heaven ..
My favorite new discovery band of 2016.
Golden Days: 0:19
No Woman: 4:16
No Matter Where We Go: 14:13
Polly: 16:57
the contrast between the singer's vibe and the interviewers
can always go back to this performance for some happiness
I fell in love with the singer help
it's quite severe
this is seriously good stuff. what a musicality. its the first time i see who plays it. The music seemed like old stuff made now. Nice sintetizado, really amazing voice, suprising. Keep going. Bravo!
Same i have been waiting for this band
very good mixing, bass and piano is loud and i love it,,, thanks kexp thanks Kevin Suggs
so freakin nailed it , cheers from the phillipines
i've completely fallen in love with Whitney, thank you
Great band. Thanks for this interview and live stuff
So glad the finally made it on KEXP!!
The interviewer did great for his first one on here
i've seen him do this before.
tough band to interview as well
he's old man, his wide eyed mug has been doing interviews here for years.
Obviously bcs the lead man is an asshole. But music is great
Dafunckt why do u think he's an asshole? been to show of theirs just yesterday, and couldn't disagree more, he seems really kind and genuine
No Woman is such a brilliant song
So good
Looking forward to the new album!
I saw them live in Winnipeg. They were great
creative.....give them a thumbs up !
Live sounds so sweet bro
Love the album but I haven't seen any live performances yet where they do it justice... maybe in the flesh would make a big difference
Yeah, the live recordings I've seen haven't been great. His vocals always seems sketchy...don't think there is any avoiding it. I saw them at a festival last summer and they sounded great...even his vocals were good.
+timinno they've been touring a lot. I'm sure after a bit of a vocal rest the live performances will be great
They’re generally really good live! Seen them twelve times now
this is so good ♡♡♡ they're amazing
I love these boys so much ❤️
I like this!
So smooth and pretty 👽
I enjoy the slide guitar parts, reminds me of something George Harrison would play.
Pete Drake was the steel pedal guitarist on those Harrison songs.
is it me or is this dude wicked blazed AF?
i love this
The intro to No Woman has some Radio head- Weird Fishes vibes going.
It’s the same chord progression (or really similar at that) so yeah for sure. Great stuff!
i`m crying
any time i get into a new band i can type in the band name followed by kexp, and its always here
To the girl who broke up with Julien... THANK YOU! You indirectly helped gift the world some magical tunes!
interviewer is trippin balls my guy
Whoa, didn't know Kai The Hitchhiker had a band. He really smash-smash-sa-mashed those drums.
I didn't even know the Smith Westerns broke up. Glad to see some of them are still keeping the twee-soul vibes going.
He didn't even kiss the guitarist...
I feel like he could do a wicked Mickey Mouse impression
XD So true
John Smith you're so right
ruclips.net/video/U7jaXu3KroY/видео.html
H-ha!!
pitchfork's wet dream
dude, totally
And now they're playing the fest this year lol
Yessss
So good, just saw Whitney live perform a festival. It was easily the best band playing that weekend, great gig. See you soon
awwwwwesome
❤
No woman 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
This is just 2 Harry Potters, a Hagrid, 2 hufflepuffs and Tyrion Lannister.
👍👍👍
these guys are so handsome
yayyy
well hello there felix! haha
aww ya`
nice to see you here, Paula!
Does anyone know how they make the trumpet sound so full? Are they synthesizing other horns on one of the keyboards? Damn they sound awesome. Love this band
a bit late but the trumpet player (Will Miller) has talked about using an octave pedal to make it seem like there's more horns than there are.
Who knew Seth Rogen is so good at trumpet
Rip the smith westerns
this fucking high-hat is killing me
4:15
sexlovemarshmellows Spinetta
it kinda feels like larry rose could interrogate suspects, 9/10 would fold under the pressure of his powerful glance
Jim Fore? 10:48
Las guitarras son perfectas
Seems like they're always asking these bands if they want to play some music. "....................No."
the end of the interview was a bit akw. hahahaha
9:59 Weed vs MDMA
Ahahahahha I see it
que sonzera
That nudity jokes were uncalled for
That Mustang sounds like everything a Mustang isn't
Did he say that influence they discovered was Jim Ford? Or what was the name of that artist, that he mentioned. Does anyone know??
whats that keyboard
i found out, i think its a Korg SV-1. very sick
I have one.. they are awesome!
jelly!!
Very cool. I miss the Smith Westerns though...
Jin J me too my friend me too. Hey but if you liked Smith Westerns check out Cullen Omori's solo stuff his sound has kinda stayed the same since the break up.
These guys are the new "Eagles"
Actually don't think the interview is awkward at all.
DON'T BLINK
the interview would be a lot less awkward without the interviewers facial expression, Julien seemed more creeped out that purposefully rude or anything
Talk about the stuff you don't wanna talk about please
What's the ride and hi-hat?
Anyone know what the keyboard is in this video?
the lead vocals def my type ehehe
The interviewer needs to let the questions hang a little bit. Jumps on the people wayyyy to much
cool 👀
Does the host blink sometimes? Please guys, I'm worried
lead guitar tone is dryer than a desert
Better than another reverb band
Reverb does wonders.
they have a trumpet
It may not fit preference , but there is a purpose to the tone 🌀
You guitar heads and your "tone". Honestly, it has a lot to do with the room that they're playing in and the choices of the sound engineer. The knobs can only do so much..
Does anyone know what kind of glasses Julien is wearing?
Warby Parker.
this guy is one zig zag scar from a perfect harry potter
The drummer looks like a even cuter Sean Lennon!!!😍
First time I ever heard No Woman I thought it was Neil young
I thought his voice was gonna crack any minute a little short on breathing technique perhaps?
Why is this guy the most un organised interviewer of all time?
ALWAYS
john lennon on drums
interviewer doesnt blink
clear music in in extinction
la wea buena piko pal que lo leeee
The vocalist looks like John Lennon.
By the way, who came for Life is Strange?
Too bad he doesn’t sing like him 😂
diiv pleaseeee
Delino Barid coles in rehab pal they won't be back for ages
I didn't get what happened with UMO, did he get kicked out of the band ?
I think I read that the touring was just too intense they were at it for like a year and went through like two drummers I believe, one of them being him
I think Ruban said in an interview that the age gap between him and the bassist with Max caused a slight conflict in the band whilst touring due to personal differences. They're clearly still on good terms tho cause Whitney toured with UMO
Thanks guys
Still waiting for the interviewer to blink
The interviewer looks absolutely crushed off something.
