HÆLOS - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@mtrxQuarks]

In my opinion, the best performance of HÆLOS. KEXP sound level magical. I return to this moment repeatedly. Pure magic of sound. Wonder.

This is sehr gut. So much noise and far away sounds of the past. Beat please

Just bought their album, Full Circle. I've played it about 10 times or more. They are Fantastic!!! I'm a 60 year old, male, music lover. My five greatest discoveries this year have been Haelos, London Grammer, Tash Sultana, Michael Kiwanuka & Alabama Shakes. All this thanks mainly to this KZbin channel: KEXP!!!! Thanks folks, keep it up!!

[@MartyZaluski]

Similar lineup to some of my recent finds. Also try Parker Mislap, Tinariwen, Rhye, and Khruanbin.

Tash Sultana is amazing artist! She is my discover of the year too.

Big kudos to KEXPs sound engineers. This is one of these cases where I prefer the kexp recording over their own produced album just for sound quality reasons (despite youtube using opus VS. whatever the heck spotify web player is using). Other notable examples: Daughter, Jose Gonzales, etc.

[@cutformllc3451]

Exact experience I had after just discovering this band. Really amazing work all around.

​@@Gandalf721 Sure this is still the case? KZbin uses opus and it is decoupled from the video codec since a long time now I think. And opus is really good, like really really good. in 210kbit/s and upwards I don't hear a difference to flac and I'm really sensitive to compression artefacts in audio

KEXP is the Abbey Road of todays studio production that brings the viewer/listener into the presence of the performers. Recently watch the recording of Sofi Tukker (felt like i was in the studio), now this production from KEXP, the presentation of a band that brings their intensity of their sound to the masses. Turn up the volume on your speakers, crank up the bass, sit back and enjoy a soothing audio ecstasy. Deep diving into the archives of the KEXP archives and definitely supporting a true presenter of the music that is desired by todays listeners.
