One of the greatest instrumentals of all time...and that drumming is the jazz backbone.

[@bikergeek1963]

Found this in late 2023 (thank you KEXP!) and I've been listening/watching Silhouettes almost daily. SO tight. Great band, great composition.

[@arup02]

I keep coming back for the drums. Sublime.

[@salvoesaurito]

Music is saving me. I'm on a very bad period of my life and I can't find a way to come out from this sh** but luckily pieces of art like this make me believe that it's worth living on the earth.

[@salvoesaurito]
