L'Eclair - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@brianmartin6741]

I love that that dude is exactly what you picture when you hear the phrase "Full-time bongo player".

[@zachshipstead5247]

Other than the cost of the synthesizers, everything about this band is exactly what I picture when I hear the phrase "Full-time bongo player".

[@slomosapiens4693]

Synth guy is next level. All of his synths pair together so nicely.

[@oliviermilani3949]

he is. We shared the stage in Switzerland. He is young and has an amazing feeling

He has a couple songs from 8 years ago on his Soundcloud that are so good. Super talented dude.

[@revvsen]

amazing live band, saw them in berlin not long ago. they played 2 songs and then their "last song" which was like a 30 min jam, then another encore for another 30mins. they were going wild relentlessly, afterwards the crowd was more exhausted than the band themselves. awesome concert, really danceable, good vibes, chill guys. can't recommend them enough.

[@DonRolling]

I know what you mean. I saw Medeski, Martin and Wood and man I was tired by the time they finished three complete sets with breaks in between. Awesome for sure.

[@osianllyr6361]

What I would give to be the bongo guy in this band.... just chillin amidst the psychedelic bliss joining in whenever he wants... living the life

Sounds like the soundtrack to some 70s PBS documentary on THC producing beehives

[@thunderhandsjohnson1382]

please tell me that's a real documentary

[@thunderhandsjohnson1382]

getjac also lets jam homie

[@winkydee]

@@thunderhandsjohnson1382 I know it's a real documentary of sorts, but didn't see the 70s version. I did, however see an old BBC doc on Hallucinogenics and it included some sweet slow-mo action plus the world through the eyes of a fly, could have been a bee.

[@Drumsticksmcgee]

I don't think they were born in the 70s

[@m____w____6981]

For me it's a soundtrack to a 70s cop show where the protagonist has to catch a ring of drug lords who are selling THC laden honeycomb from THC producing beehives.

[@rogeriusrex1]

Saw these live a few days ago and it was genuinely one of the best gigs I've ever been to. If you can get out to see them, you won't regret it, even if you have to do something crazy like swerving your bride-to-be at the altar. Long live the Power Of The Jam

[@jml4000]

I have been playing this on repeat since I discovered it around the beginning of lockdown. My wife says that I have to be the only person who enjoys this music while sober. Is she right?

[@Andrews1314fifteen]

She's quite wrong, although I certainly enjoy it 3-fold while not sober...

[@jml4000]

@@Andrews1314fifteen here is the twist: she suddenly appreciates my taste in music after enjoying a nice bowl, while I am simply incapable of handling even the smallest dose of THC. If pot didn't give me monsterous anxiety attacks I'm sure I would enjoy this music 3-folds more!

Wow found that Video 20minutes before going to work, drifted totally away and came 2 hours late for work because of youtube algorythyms next videos have also been by L'Eclair! What an awesome sound!

[@hippoo25]

The keyboardist's touch in music is magic!

[@gvasques000]

wow. what I hear (and see): tropical 60s/70s progressive funk, Azymuth synth grooves, blaxploitation movies, Hawaii 5-0-type car chases, and a pinch of Banda Black Rio, all thrown in the mix for maximum effect. Could well be the opening of a 70s Brazilian soap with a statuesque and scantily-dressed woman in Rio, walking by and turning in slow motion to look in disdain at the camera. Trust me, I was there 😁

un vrai voyage musical dans les 70's

[@youngtevanced8818]

God! good thing there are still people passionate creating real music.

[@johnvicaireiii5537]

These guys are great performers, absolutely great music coming out right now, you would think you'd only here this in the 70s

[@PedroAugusto-tb2zo]

Very very good. Sounded like a 60s/70s jazz fusion record at some points, but also a 2040 jazz fusion record at the same time. I love this explosion of electronica, funky guitars and drum grooves and sonic experimentation/texture experimentation that reminds me a little bit of post-rock, while adding psychedelic elements as well. Very unique and interesting blend of sounds.

[@nicohahn-seel6355]

yeah i hear/see that. def posty vibes with this long build up starting at 7:50. 60s/70s jazz fusion indeed. would add some italian 60s 70s library „crime/porn movie“ music to your genre list. btw - if you like those guys check mild life from australia as well!

[@georgeuzunov7227]

Excellent music and players,enthusiastic approach and performance, the music itself striking a chord to 70s, but with modern reading. One can hear a pinch or prog monsters Yes, Manfred.Man, P.Floyd etc.The boys keep the rhythm and stay in tune all the time, very lively looking. Appreciate their eagerness and striving for creating such nice pieces. They deserve a good future and many live shows ahead.

[@jackrackam4845]

Back in the late 70s-early 80s there was a band called East in my old country Hungary. Very similar style. These guys make great music.

[@Артём-ш5щ6ъ]

Замечательный музыкальный транс, который позволяет проваливаться в работу (она у меня творческая) и при этом музыка не становится просто фоном. Она становится удовольствием!! Все музыканты умудряются извлекать из своих инструментов максимально "вкусные" звуки. Очень обращает на себя внимание клавишник. Клавиши звучат очень нешаблонно, местами футуристично, и это придаёт звучанию группы индивидуальность. БРАВО! Всем мирного неба над головой!
