i love kexp, have found so many great bands because of them

[@professorpeewee4879]

I cannot get enough of this. Alynda Lee's voice is pure heaven and the band supports her with just the right touch of accompaniment. Sweet, subtle magic...

[@WillyFrapps]

This band is incredible. Simple stuff with a unique spin = greatness. Also, I'm in love with Alynda!

[@nancsea]

[@wandermethis7097]

All right you got my ear....

[@HAL9007]

Brooklyn to New Orleans is a long journey.

[@Nowfaithis2]

I wish they would sell live versions of their songs. The same songs in the studio fall flat.

[@dennisosborne4613]

Just good

[@frankcorrenti5941]

Alynda Lee's song , New San Francisco Bay Blues, incorporates guitar phrases which I associate with a Townes Van Zandt version of Darcy Farrow. Not that there's anything wrong with using fundamentals which many virtuoso guitarists employ. Love it.

[@sweels5992]

make sure to check out their "Jam In The Van" stuff

[@chrissvitreoushumour]

huggable human

[@peterjr.mcgilvery4524]

Such great music .... she really is something 😕 ...someday hahahahaha

[@lordfarquad420]

i like her stoney eyes

[@hulado]

any girl who will yodel has a piece of my heart

[@tinahorkan]

She reminds me of a very young Patti Smith, and has the same uncompromising attitude, love the band.

[@daverobinson6110]

She really needs to cover "Because The Night"

[@kevinlakeman5043]

She's very little like Patti Smith. Not to mention that 'very young Patti Smith' wasn't even a musician. She was a struggling writer, principally writing poetry. "Horses", "Radio Ethiopia", "Easter" don't sound much like these songs, either. I'd never call her early stuff 'country'/'folk'. She reminds me much more of someone like Gillian Welch, a bit of A.A. Bondy, or Coralee.

[@rsimmons5855]

I am curious about what cameras were used and what settings for the upload? Stunning quality. Thanks for the good video.

[@DeviousNegros]

as far as ive seen they use Canon DSLRs. 5dmkiii's and such

[@A1EyeDCatppn]

I could listen to this till the cows come home........ Oh, hold on. they're here.

[@tmac8892]

have never seen a person who looks so much like a cat without even trying. that's probably why they love her over at reddit.

[@tomthefunky]

Cool band. I recommend a guy named John Paul Keith from Tennessee. Check him out y'all.

[@busterbox]

That was nice. KEXP is the shiz.

[@wcheng4927]

By looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was Kate Micucci...

[@Hylebos75]

Me too!

[@bubbasmith382]

For Sure LIKE! two happy faces! :) :)

[@LoneWolf-cv6pl]

her voice reminds me of Natalie merchant!

[@billhdowne2382]

Are u listening, Neil Young?

[@garychow6113]

Reminds me of Ricki Lee Jones.

[@Vaudevillainy]

Look at McLovin' rocking that violin like a boss. Cool tracks though!

[@chriscarbone4671]

Sorry yoshi if I spelled your name wrong

[@killdeer13]

Cousin Dimetry? anyone know the reference?

[@operdoc]

He's a dj in New Orleans.

[@justinschiavone9290]

John Turturro's brother?

[@ZionGuySupreme]

Eyes like Aubrey Plaza.

[@Chancelander]

Wow, that's an interesting thought. I wouldn't have made that connection on my own, but I get what you mean. I love both ladies, they're beautiful. BTW, "Eyes Like Aubrey Plaza" is a great title, someone should use it for something!

[@schymark7196]

Chancelander Chris Pratt gonna make a song "Eyes like Aubrey"

[@hellowworld3804]

ZionAfuang I was going to comment that she looked like Aubrey Plaza lol

[@LivGreene]

what kind of gibson is that????

[@LivGreene]

im thinkin a j50 but what year??

[@billhdowne2382]

Are you listening, Mr. Zimmerman?

[@Toolloor]

She looks like Aubrey Plaza

[@jdmfan4134]

Tesco brand Aubrey Plaza

[@turbulentbeauty]

She looks a bit like Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Rec.

[@ClumsySandbocks]

Spent the first song trying to figure out what gender the bassist was. I was disappointed with the answer.

[@jmammo]

Thank you for giving me a good laugh and improving my hangover ridden morning

[@sikeedelic8348]

You mean their sex? Gender is a performance, not biological.

[@justchillin508]

Sal Smith You knew what Clumsy meant, and you couldn't resist cramming a daily dose of politically-correct shit down his throat eh?

[@peterkealey5329]

Sal Smith I think you're the one who is confused. Gender relates to sex NOT performance - maybe you are getting it confused with genre.

[@Nautilus1972]

She's so not MTV.

[@jdmfan4134]

They’re not crust punks that’s just how they dress

[@meedily]

The bass player looks like he's getting off.

[@DingusTheGenius]

He's a She… but, yes, I believe that she is.

[@HansWernerLink]

I may not understand Alynda well but singin' that "Germany has been cold and mean" ... is not tolerable from a woman of her age. I would call a man with this kinda prejudice a dumb ass and a woman of this kind a stupid goose! Minnesota or Montana are also cold, can they be called "mean" therefore?

[@spencercoffaro6747]

Clearly You don't truly understand the English language. But i expect that type of misunderstanding when a Kraut listens to American music

[@HansWernerLink]

Spencer Coffaro This is fuckin' bullshit and I have a proof for that: I made a genuine American citizen assess my perception before posting my critique here! Douche bag, as long as you don't master as many languages as I do you are not playing in my league! Your very many disgusting tatoos on your right arm and elsewhere are witnessing your lower class!

[@spencercoffaro6747]

if you believe in a class system them you are not in any way enlightened or intelligent. Let me get this straight the kraut is sour because he "have a proof for that". Clearly you have not even mastered the language your trying to type in. Use google translate then you would look like such a uneducated hack.

[@HansWernerLink]

***** if you don't have better arguments then the one you used I can only say: fuck you! (What would you say or feel If I would state that the US is a country of stinky morons and retarded people? No idea about what prejudice is all about ? )

[@staceylaing4814]

Hans-Werner Link She traveled there and had a bad experience with either the people or environment she encountered. Sometimes we refer to things or experiences as "mean" here, figuratively. example: the weather is mean out today, traffic was a bitch, etc. I personally wouldn't deduce that she dislikes all Germans or Germany from that simple line, but I see why you posed the question.

[@josepha.chavez8060]

The way the host talks is so annoying. Geez. Sounds like he's got a toothpick in the corner of his mouth.

[@deadringer333]

Oh wow how did she age so drastically in 3 years. Hopefully she's not using meth.

[@donaldkovacs]

Love her voice.
