Hard to believe this is live. It's crazy how close it is to the studio version.

[@adamchappell6761]

I think it’s because she records a lot of her stuff “live” in the studio, if I remember correctly

[@avhzdxx-5400]

Saw her live and it’s crazy how close she sounds to the studio version of her songs

[@leahdoan5083]

I straight up watch this every single day

[@emiliebourgeois9783]

kingston is one of the best songs ever made i think

[@tophzera]

teleports me to a dreamworld every time I hear it, it is so perfect

[@bamchap3700]

The band is just so perfect. I love Faye’s style, her writing style is cool as shit, but the band really just seems to get it. They vibe super hard and I love it.

[@327outkast]

her voice is so unique and beautiful

[@SeanSean123]

nuh uh

[@hannahm8120]

[@chrissy-x]

thanks!

[@CH-ml4rz]

Thank you

[@andyjohnson4943]

I Know I'm Funny haha has to be one of the best albums of the past few years. The tone is absolutely incredible, song-writing is innovative in a genre that seems so played out most of the time. 10/10

[@donfisher8979]

Her voice and that pedal steel were meant for each other.

[@mvuyiso_buyana]

"In a good way" just hits different 😩

[@brandonwoodruff3345]

“I know you’ve been having nightmares lately, and I’m sorry I fall asleep first…” - Liiiiisteeeeennnnn! That shit!

[@carolina_je9153]

no lie I cried at how beautiful this set was

[@kolinevans9127]

I don’t know much about Kingston but I love Faye’s song about Kingston.

[@chiebert290]

Same. I’ve listened to it so many times.

[@wilunki18]

Same

[@buoyviceroy2211]

What is kingston tho?

[@at330606]

That vocal mic looks as good as it sounds!

[@yurita1984]

What model is it? I think she brought it with her 'cos it is most fits her tone of voice

[@LukeMatty217]

@@yurita1984 Thats a Sennheiser 441, a great and versatile microphone but it's not wallet friendly

[@starmaps]

@@LukeMatty217 thanks

[@TbdPonchoBillionaire]

Just had a rough shroom trip and man they really put me through the ringer, death and back, as it is. I come here for comfort and it is the cool side of a pillow under my sweating head. Faye is one of my biggest inspirations and I know almost nothing of her except her music, she just feels like home. All my love Faye. You’re unreal and organic and excellent.

[@davidevans2298]

You just said it like a lyric writer..

[@imdre4ming]

watching this on acid rn and feeling the same :)

[@kolinevans9127]

Faye makes me want to cry in the good way xx

[@meghansullivan6812]

i've never heard faye's speaking voice before! it's so sweet agh i love her and her sound so muchhhhhhhhhh😤💌

[@mattnisius1788]

How is she not everywhere-- oh yeah, she's super real. Doe eyed doll w an angelic voice. What an awesome vibe. And everyone in the band finds their places so right. Gentle cloud ride.

[@elyzawakefield9589]

Just discovered her, can’t believe I’ve been missing out

[@launderedentertainment]

Love Faye - they sound so warm and spatially controlled

[@charliebillings411]

introducing a bit of a new sound with the last two tracks - love it! so ready for the new record

[@onehardtaco]

Cheers sounds so damn good

[@ilianam453]

Her voice is everything and the music compliments it so well

[@stevenjerryonimo8291]

i watch this every single day

[@KurtJohnsonTheSecond]

Anytime I hear "Better Distractions" I just melt and float away! Sooo good! It's got the same feel of Gerry Rafferty's, "Right Down The Line".

[@joshuarich6906]

Imagine a big black dude pulling up next to you at a red light singing better distractions at the top of his lungs…. Yeah it’s me lol. Faye webster is the greatest random thing I never knew I needed!

[@dynamicrange5374]

faye webster's rise to stardom is very much associated with black culture actually! i think she first signed to a hip hop label? lol. good music transcends culture.

[@BIGBADNEWS]

@@dynamicrange5374 she was signed to Awful Records (Father’s label) pretty early in her career and is close w a lot of the members

[@bcs2481]

Okay, now imagine a skinny professor white dude, mostly bald, 66 years old next to you at a red light singing better distractions... Yeah, that would be me too

[@juanda5252]

i personally believe this is a Slay

[@francish6695]

a slay indeed

[@loveinthelandfill1124]

I hate this world but thanks @Faye and @KEXP for the special moment.

[@tomwhaley3335]

In a good way- SUCH an underrated slow jam !

[@THEFEEL57]

Love the master of conversation in your work. You got your own fuel. Alien. Gorgrous work girl. The FEEL

[@thebrysmith3]

Faye and the band have such a vibe. Thank you, KEXP, for introducing us to this wonderful artist.

[@claudiomanara9926]

I just stumbled to know her on the net and…wow a magic enchantment ..i need to listen more about Faye! Faye! What a name! She’s so cool 🔝

[@connerdearing]

I had tickets to see her and Andy shauf in atlanta. I was super excited to get a record signed by Andy and also listen to Faye since I had never heard her before. It was gonna be my first concert but it got canceled unfortunately.

[@raphaeldesjardins6382]

this tour being cancelled was the worst thing about COVID

[@ElishaDavid]

Wowee I did not know they were touring together. Checking that out now.

[@Az4liz]

ate these girls up fr

[@eduardkarpoev2109]

the fact this is under 200K views is kinda gnarly this is so good

[@danciairwin6820]

I literally love her. Her voice and songs are just…so…ethereal. Best singer ever ❤

[@allenmissenis6437]

Thanks for this Faye Firstly and Kexp secondly. This warmed my heart.. please keep rock'n KEXP firstly and Faye Secondly.

[@tr33hugg3r7]

im obsessed with this woman.

[@TheLongCut1]

Just might be the best record of 2021

[@Active4Good]

Was played on Future Radio (Norwich) this morning. Faye Webster is new to me, what a sound, love the compositions and performance 10/10.

[@ecro98]

definitely i will see her live

[@JGlassy]

Love this first song --slightly new, lighter fresh groove from Faye. And KEXP always, always shines as through the lens we hear so many new artists! (geek aside: I'm intrigued to see Tweed recording gave Faye a Sennheiser MD441 as a vocal mic.. don't see that everyday!)

[@matthogan4905]

Probably for better isolation from the drums due to the hypercardiod polar pattern, looks like the drums are in the perfect spot for minimum bleed

[@rallokkcaz]

She always uses the MD441 live from what I've seen.

[@Stoufferguy]

Shout out from the Classic City!!!

[@10minuteslive90]

OMG! VERY COMFORTABLE SOUND!
