Totally taken in by this band! Her vocals are insane! The music put together in a very unique way, including the electronics. And vocal lines actually tell a story. I'm a former vocalist a teen in the sixties..A music lover growing up with the Yardbirds, Airplane, etc. I LOVE Hundred Waters. I would go to see them in a minute if I could!

[@scdeltaa]

Hearing this while it rains down here after several weeks of intense sun is just...drifting!!! Hi from Medellín, Colombia.

[@selfidolization]

dramatics

[@banjocricketusa]

Love her voice. Love this song. Love this band.

[@johnbarnas879]

It is a wonderful experience hearing Hundred Waters play live on a good, loud sound system. Do it before you can't.

[@blankstarehaircare]

+J.B. Croquedudu yeah, i saw them live a few days ago. pretty magical. i'm sort of surprised by how much worse the band sounds here.

[@lequinntessential]

The way by which each song starts and stops, change, morph and evolve with such layered detail, incisive attack, undulating genius and electronic brilliance, and then made even more beautiful with Nicole's lilting voice... I'm left speechless at the end of each song.

[@davidcoons89]

I’m speechless at the beginning ha!

[@dingdong2103]

Too bad the recording or some sample had a nasty distortion which made this pretty much unwatchable...

[@theDaoistBean]

I first heard them at Terminal 5 opening for Interpol last week...they were awesome and Nicole is absolutely enchanting, like a quiet fog that swallows you whole. Haunting. Love them now forever.

[@yassinsoliman5107]

Wow... there is very little to say after suche a performance. Thanks for everybody involved

[@londonlikethebridge1770]

They sound like they enchant forests. Kind of mesmerizing if you ask me.

[@wchmielinski]

YES

[@banjocricketusa]

Very whimsical and I feel copricious when I listen to their wonderful sounds which is everyday for me. Her voice is what's so mesmerizing in my thoughts. Seven White Horses & Prison Guard are my favorite songs in my heart. Good Day 😊

[@edodoms]

Her voice is a work of art!

[@MJ-vd8bj]

They're amazing, especially in love with Nicole's voice.

[@mattybrunken]

This performance of Cavity is better than on the record.

[@chazberg]

Such an incredible band. I'm seeing them open for Interpol, and it's the first time I've been more excited for the opener...

[@jameshollow5468]

Saw them open for interpol tonight, and they were more enjoyable. It was fun.

[@KCYON]

Ambient feel, fills up the room! Love it

[@benradtke7321]

please have an album please have an album - YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! LOVE THIS!!! Cheryl Waters you are my personal hero - i've said it before and i'll say it again.. you know how to pick-em!!!

[@satexguy1]

The best mix of several genres. James Blake meets Joni Mitchell meets David Lynch. Just awesome.

[@Estesolace]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@akbotadoszhan5255]

wow, it sounds like magic, I was digital drawing while listening to this and it really got me very deep into work)))

[@EricTowers]

This band is absolutely amazing. I look forward to covering their material very much. The setup they use, I feel, is generally used for smaller groups or solo artists, but they sync so well as a full band. Cavity is the top hit for me.

[@justintime5463]

Excited to see hundred waters is still coming out with new music. Heard about this band by mere happenstance when they opened for an alt-J show spring of 2013. Incredible blend of sound no one else out there is anywhere near.

[@jordnabeauchamp]

mesmerizing! can't wait to see them (along with Glasser, Nite Jewel, Bear In Heaven & No Age) in Spokane this September

[@kailogemann6371]

Fantastic musicians,

[@mynameiskevinkenny]

This is my favorite band

[@UFOzNoJoke]

Always The Best Music I Have Been Blessed To Listen To

[@garywendt4956]

Love this band!

[@lexiejackson6152]

I seen them at mopop festival in 2014, before that I had never heard of them. Absolutely phenomenal live

[@MeccaVonPetra1]

OMG This is absolutely beautiful !

[@zachhoward3179]

To Whom It May Concern, I LOVE the cut at 11:32 , whoever edited this, I applaud you. That is all. - ZH

[@PeachyRose69]

i dislike most of the "fake radio studio sounds" aka autotune. but when its done in for the sole purpose of getting weird and being differen (ween)... come on hundred waters! i've heard ur autotune/synth capability. ya'll playing bonarroo, I will be in the crowd. SHOW ME LOVE!!!

[@davidellinger7190]

Got me from the first second! Too good to be true. Thanks for that!

[@julitoskoba3655]

music that elevates the mind

[@FLICKROBOT]

[@mayab.4790]

Unusual but very nice !

[@marchwallace7776]

[@Pastafield]

Damn! That track 'cavity' is soul-tearing. Beautiful stuff!

[@tittyfrance3540]

[@BolognaBolognaBologna]

[@kelseybritton986]

[@vinnycc06]

[@sd200man]

[@cilladev6759]

[@Usselman]

[@jaggedsigns3O11]

[@matthewaubertin9452]

"You know, the classics...Beethoven, Mozart, Enya." -Jack Black

[@francitron_art_3]

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

[@chuquiii]

Out Alee 07:15, that was just inspirably awesome!

[@leraginasian]

[@LeandroArraes]

não me canso!!!!!!!

[@saIvete]

I'm in trance, this is beautiful. I'm sure I've heard the intro of murmurs b4, not sure where...

[@Elisabethah78]

So beautiful!

[@ckcost8714]

So so good ty

[@human__________]

release these sessions on flak please

[@jenesisruizcross]

Heaven to my ears 🎶

[@872infinity]

SO GOOD!

[@crobs10]

Why'd you cut out the Q&A that was in the live stream? I enjoyed the insight.

[@walkr7998]

happy birthday

[@Elimnio]

Did she take that name from Artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser? :-)

[@hetmanjz]

The band has acknowledged this connection, yes {:^]

[@LilDarkness12]

fuckin amazingly beautiful

[@Promethalus]

very good

[@TheDirtworld]

Hundred Waters is the closest thing I can get to what I get out of Bjork's music. Not to say they're like Bjork in an imitative way but that they just have a completely unique character to their music and her voice is haunting, angelic, and unique like Bjork's.

[@pheromonefevers669]

TheDirtworld I thought the exact same thing!

[@xalener]

Thank you Halo 4 for introducing me to this band.

[@khrisnakhristian5419]

whats the first song you hear from halo 4?

[@RareMade]

Khrisna Khristian I think it was a Hundred Waters remix they did for Halo

[@shiah1313]

She is quite elven-like esp. w/ the flute!

[@AspectsMind]

great vocals

[@sweetanish]

delightful

[@1984craine]

Reminds me of early goth bands of the 1980s a la cocteau twins, dead can dance, the cure ect

[@loopernow]

very much cocteau twins

[@Julan121]

Awesome!

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

The singer reminds me of Princess Zelda

[@ILicence]

Funny you say that, I love the song "Out Alee" and it reminds me of something from the Zelda series. Take that with a grain of salt, because I've never really played any Zelda games.

[@massaroni6903]

IT'S PEEEEAAAAAK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheZenedd]

fka twigs and portishead , just sayn' first thing comes to mind , great sound , got me !

[@TheOriginalSapience]

Instant like...

[@HyzaRuano]

sounds very similar to Juan Son, its an amazing voice. its perfect

[@salo7227]

Quality.

[@magma7206]

❤❤❤❤

[@vinnycc06]

I miss the old stuff like it’s a problem

[@meghanfare129]

Goose Bumps!

[@elephantbaci]

We want Hundred Waters live in Paris... Please!! :'(

[@felixbiton4100]

it's coming soon! really soon ;)

[@elephantbaci]

Tout ce que j'espère c'est que ce ne sera pas début octobre. Même en janvier 2015 avec Interpol je prends (je les ai loupé à l'Espace B, je les attends depuis 2 ans, je ne suis plus à 6 mois près ;))

[@Mastragat]

elephantbaci Hundred Waters will play on October 14th in Le Batofar, Paris.

[@elephantbaci]

I don't know you... but I like you a lot! Merci pour l'info!! :))

[@luminousBrink]

mmmmmmmmm that flute

[@banana_junior_9000]

Holy @#$%^&!!! A music snob's dream!

[@NolanKurtz]

Where's the interview?

[@kexp]

Sorry, they asked for no interview to be included. They are charming people though.

[@VendErre]

Fucking fantastic stuff, really.

[@lamoraverde]

buah!pure dizziness...

[@GlacianOfficial]

Halo 4, I give my thanks to for introducing me to the band

[@Ballinout30]

That was unexpected. Sounds weird and strange but that's exactly why i like it.

[@ookthomas]

Those synth pads must build up some serious static charge! ;P but seriously this performance is amazing.

[@SherudilshikJujelic]

я кажись влюбился в эту девушку)

[@jamjenABC]

It's Different, in an I like it sort of way.

[@maryb2107]

[@c4p461r4]

echoing Liz Fraser

[@jesusthemillionaire]

first song sounds like the cocteau twins

[@gibcoprobe66]

Sounds a lot like Braids but not Braids is even better. Very good though.

[@NickHarman]

Cocteau Twins meet Churches. Not bad.

[@novakilic9126]

Bogatosamotakobynoldzajelane

[@M4j0rTr4g3dy]

plenty of ambiance but I kept waiting for it to go somewhere. Plenty of changes, and swells that just kind of fade back into dull. Not my cup of tea, but that being said they should totally be on the next Herzog documentary's soundtrack.

[@kaekhor]

amazing performance.. btw you got 6 minutes of nothing @the end of this video

[@Ahzpayne]

think of it as "recovery time" to get your thoughts back in order after that set lol

[@Frir10]

ehm, are the bass player and drummer playing with no sound..?

[@leewes9615]

The live performance is not as good as their album, hope them play more spontaneous and freely. Really like their new album

[@MisterEFishe]

Kind if reminds me of Florence and the machine but more trip hoppy

[@memphissommers4171]

SERIOUSLY!? This is a joke, right?

[@selfidolization]

ummmmmm

[@zebramans]

100 years later #we gettin old, still love it, happy im aging on this :3

[@Sportamrina]

beautiful!!

[@cercer]
