I think I just found one of my new favourite bands. The song made me cry . When the keyboard player started singing. I love watching the way musicians move. They're all playing their instruments, with their whole bodies it's fantastic. The synthesizer sounds great !! It's a real treat to watch a string quartet or cello player, the way those guys moves, moves me. lol

100% mate. They really nailed it.

[@leonardlumbers]

Heck of a chorus happening here.

[@lightbulbisonfire]

Discovered this song through Spotify discover weekly playlist. Holy Smokes was a thrill listening during dmt trip

[@tshtufaj1]

Cool 80’s feel to this great song. Love it

[@virkovosu414]

[@starksshirt9799]

This band gets me.

[@hayleygordon7969]

This song is a masterpiece

[@uniexports]

I love this song! Really guys, this song is brilliant. I combed through over 50+ Kexp live perfs, this song was by far the best. I will be listening to this driving down the road, thanks so much.

[@pkmnmasterlewi9706]

Listen to jungle on kexp, I think they match it. They have 3 showings with 3 different albums and all are flawless live performances that sound the same /better than album ver.
:)

[@colinheaton6934]

This band is just gonna get better and better

[@mountainssea9642]

Cure and Roxy Music and Flock of Seagulls and Depeche Mode had a baby.

[@BigBlack81]

The depressed sexless goths of that era actually DID have sex, after all! We were lied to!!! LOL XD

[@TheJubanne1]

I'd throw in some Gary Numan and Devo

[@New_Zealand_Music]

Thank you very much for all the new videos guys. They help keep me going I appreciate it. 🙏

Across that fine line.
Reach out, call my name
Whenever you want
Faced with the final convulsion
Contorting my tongue
And reach out, fall my way
Easing around
It's not a word that's exchanged
It's something else
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line
I died a hundred times
I reckon you could
Let it bleed
'Cause I'm resigned
Reach out, crawl my way
Any time
Rapid, indirect feelings
I qualify
Every day we're circling
Never closing in on what we want
But can you feel the quickening
Seven million moments down to one
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line
I died a hundred times
I reckon you could
Let it bleed
'Cause I'm resigned
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line
I died a hundred times
I reckon you could
Let it bleed
'Cause I'm resigned
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line
I died a hundred times
I reckon you could
Let it bleed
'Cause I'm resigned
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line
I died a hundred times
I reckon you could
Let it bleed
'Cause I'm resigned
And I'm watching you walk
Across that fine line

OMD & Kraftwerk vibes on this one

[@Max-de6cn]

Vocalist sounds like Morten from A-ha

[@hamishmcdonald7275]

Like a fine wine - I get Joy Division & China Crisis tannins!

[@6828Lu]

I hear Wire Train and the Cute.

[@hey1.025]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@PABackpacker]

Sounds like Roxy Music vocals crossed with bass from The Cure

[@jimoverholser6809]

This is so fucking good ❤

[@vlvvv2064]

Get Alex g back in the Stu

[@Reprodestruxion]

Definitely OMD, check out Operators and Comsat Angels too

[@lindacole7393]

The Operators, from Montreal - KEXP live in Reykjavik - AWESOME!!

[@nietzschenchopin]

Is there no drum member at all? It feels fresh.

[@gibbleway]

wow 80s is back??

[@TheJubanne1]

They never left mate

[@jakeduder]

Lil bit Interpol, touch of cure and a splash of Joy Division. KEXP doing it again!

[@saddestchord7622]

Like the song and this guy is a great singer but I feel they'd sound a lot better with real drums.

[@jacquelinediesel7883]

It would make the bass player much happier too ☺

[@WolfepackJSJGA]

Not feeling it
