Everyone loves Kiefer.

[@MeloMiceli]

MAAAAN! The bassist had my stank face for the whole time!

[@LWmusik]

I love kiefers music, but I like the live trio versions much more! It would be awesome to have a full album like that

[@_MKSN]

think he's gonna release it soon!

[@djestouff]

the improvisation is cool but the live drums really ruin it for me :(

[@_MKSN]

@@djestouff how so ? (dont have the drums in mind rn)

[@djestouff]

@@_MKSN the drums on the record are extremely crisp & tight with very little reverb. lots of closed hi hats that "slice through" the instrumentation in a really nice way (probably due to compression or other mixing tricks) but here in the live version there was a lot more open hi hats and it sounds like a live kit rather than sampled drums (because ya of course it is a live kit, but it could be mic'd and mixed to sound more like sampled drums). there's nothing wrong with that per se but it's not really characteristic to Kiefer's "sound" he's defined over numerous records. It's one of the things that sets him apart from a more traditional jazz artist. His drums are much more hip hop / lo-fi

[@derrickulous]

This man gives me hope for the future of jazz

[@mr.e2297]

Excited for this one Kiefer has long been a favorite of mine Always love seeing his life performances. Lets go Kiefdaddysupreme!

[@sumtin05698]

Superhero is one of the best lofi jazz songs of all time change my mind

[@geol1936]

Creative blending of styles by Kiefer never ceases to amaze me. Well done.

[@joonoonoo9643]

What makes you say it is blended? What is it blended with? I want to follow his inspirations!

[@omarapacanadhih]

Absolutely mesmerizing. Kiefer deserves infinitely much more appreciation!

[@0ii076]

Damn shame we couldn't hear that bass because everything else was dope.

[@erz5196]

I love his music....great teacher and awesome musician

[@steamboatmcwrigley561]

Kiefer is a precious freaking gem. I hope he keeps pushing.

[@copper067]

Kiefer Brings that Heat only he can Radiate. His productions stay on repeat!!

[@MRGO0OSE]

Love Kiefer! He was a top listen of mine on Spotify by a mile! Had a great chat with him and his buddy Colin before a show in Boston this year. Did something happen to a B key on his Super 8? 😦

[@jcandeli]

I noticed that key too haha

[@sumabatman]

Three of the baddest dudes on the planet

Nicely chilled with eggs sunny side up...😊

[@poonakanwanaeloh7858]

Have to put my earphone on to hear the bass.

[@VoidMaker407]

w performance, bass could be turned up just a tad tho

[@ramp4937]

kieferss music

[@beefmore]

Kiefer is the kinda guy you want to drink a beer with.

[@henriquealejandro7247]

I don't understand where the synths in the background are coming from?!?!?!? Is Efajemue hitting some space buttons in the drum machine behind him or something, was it recorded afterwards???

[@TheTopcat1441]

There's a click track, which is why they are wearing headphones. I think it's running through Ableton

[@mysticvision9542]

These guys are super funny

[@jammieswitdanny4836]

hell yeah willem dafoe on bass!!!!

[@Haku_records]

Dopest one yet

[@csharp57]

[@gretchentruscott4274]

Hey, where was that 4 chord theme in "Doomed" taken from? Anyone? It seems familiar. There's some extentions or what but I seem to recognize it and can't pinpoint the song..

[@henriquealejandro7247]

I think it's from this song called "Doomed" by Kiefer, released a couple months ago

[@gretchentruscott4274]

@@henriquealejandro7247 oh come on.. 😀 that's not to be meant as a diss against the band 😀 inspiration comes in my forms

[@henriquealejandro7247]

@@gretchentruscott4274 hahahahaha I know man, I was just kidding around. Wish I could help you but I don't know

[@rattymouse]

A rare miss for KEXP- no bass.

[@daviduribe3111]

The problem is that it is the keyboard player's band, and he won't stop playing... 🙉

[@CatmanJimbo]

@@daviduribe3111saw him on tour, you could hear the bass fine then. This is the KEXP mixer's fault lol

[@simpaticode]

can you turn down the bass tho

[@Arelisf]

😅

[@markmanter6508]

Absolutely not 😤

[@RetiredRobot]

Why no bass?

[@dtales77]

Can’t hear a single note of that bass

[@neversleepsneversleeps582]

Is the amp even on 😂

[@ajones3569]

Jus Feel

[@respectdguru4647]

😂

[@0ii076]

I thought it was just me

[@steamboatmcwrigley561]

With cans, and cranking the volume, it's not too bad. The drummer using open hihats and heavy cymbals does bury it though

[@htoniceskii]

когда пытаешься дозвониться до оператора

[@djestouff]

these live drums just dont hit the same as the programmed ones on the album, all too common with live versions of hip hop drums. JD Beck and of course Questlove are noteable exceptions, they understand how to eq live drums to give more of a hip hop sound.

[@MGsax]

Don’t agree, this sounded great

[@didierarnoult]

Nice composition. It's a pity that the rhodes is simulated by a Nord keyboard, which I find so lacking in dynamics and poor quality.

[@JamesOKlippel]

Fix the fuckin mix KEXP come on howd they let this one slip

[@foljs5858]

too many notes

[@lucianopogliano5959]

lovit, awesome
