AwesomeShot Studios Upon moving to comment about a drummer’s metronomicity (YT iOS-app hides cmnts), my impulse to publish a bland thought was replaced w/ an awakening to my unoriginality. An instant loss of religion then led to a heavy Fentanyl habit. Yeah, but after I kicked, I turned paid session recordings of their drummer into a successful series of sample packs and web audio modules. They have paid for the two SLs in my multi-level Malibu garage & the “friends” that ride in them, but I would trade it all for the power to have commented first all those minutes ago.

Legend has it that the drummer's star ship lost its course in the nether reaches of outer space. The drummer's mental metronome within his head kept beat with the stars at the center of galaxies until he found that he could communicate with them. Over the span of 6 millennia he taught them the essence of rhythm and synced their pulsing to his will. He left tiny pieces of his mind scattered throughout the universe which eventually became the pulsars we know of today.

@@aironovathuul My tale is true. I was there. I am the Star Child, born unto this universe as a culmination of all of the drummer's seeds of musicality; a flesh-born amalgamation of cosmic notes and chord progressions. I've stood dormant among the stars, germinating for eons, until I was ready--until He said that I was ready, and smiled down upon my cosmic form. With a warm glow of His synapse my form soared through the empty pathways of space--faster, faster, faster until I crash landed upon a small, barren rock floating around a yellow star. I stood. I began to walk, becoming accustomed to my new body. I was hot. I was glowing with life energy. Every step I took left behind a footprint of substance--life. The first step, a water droplet; the second step, bacteria; The third step, a nematode; The fourth step, a seed of vegetation; the fifth step, a bipedal mammal; the sixth step, humanity; the seventh step, the passage of time; the eighth step, music. After the eighth step I rested. I looked down upon what I had done and felt the coolness of His fulfillment wash over me. The remains of my body melted onto the firmament and became the seas. I gave the whales their songs, the birds their whistles, the wind its moaning, and humanity its voice. I am He. And He taps the beat of eternity upon his cosmic drum.

I know some of you will think I'm saying this because she's drop dead gorgeous, but Laura Lee is one of the best bassists I've ever heard. First off, the volume level is perfect. Too many bassists, especially in a three piece band are TOO LOUD, she's not. But her playing is absolutely in the pocket, and she's not afraid of "space".....meaning she leaves bits of silence and "air" at certain times. I'd really like to know her musical background before she picked up the bass. All three of them are incredible as musicians. I do wish they could evolve into having a few more "vocal" songs. Otherwise, I'm just awestruck with the whole band.

[@johngoscinski1995]

I get what you are saying, but I can barely hear the line even when watching her play. I guess I need to download the stuff to a real sound system and get off the crappy laptop speakers..

It's been a while since I've heard this level of guitar playing. Awesome.

[@wellblowmedown7645]

Jeff Beck comes to mind. Modern version

[@giantfisher]

KEXP brings "So good it HURTS!" music to us. I've discovered so many performers that BLOW MY MIND through these live performances. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@stephantelm4922]

Indeed. Kruangbin and KG&TLW are two standouts.

[@alucard0712]

exactly same thing! how it can be that good that you almost cry?

[@riblets1968]

This is the video I chose to introduce Khruangbin to my girlfriend because of the outstanding audio production KEXP did in presenting this video. Very well done, guys!

[@10DanielDark]

Finally on KEXP !!!!!!!!!!

[@nimkal]

Oh wow. Her awareness towards old Iran came as a nice surprise to me. I was here for the music but that's pretty awesome, these guys are aware of the world's cultures and history.

[@mariob1060]

They are creating the best music of this time

[@aldiooktapradana9939]

Any KEXP upload makes a good day. Thank you

[@fahritopcu]

I could listen to this over and over again... wait... I do. I wish more music was like this and hope they keep this up.

[@RelOKeefe]

I’m so glad to have discovered the sweet coolness of this trio, not easy to excite me this days with so much bland crap music in the world but Khruangbin have stolen my heart ❤️

[@Anthony-uf3oz]

*has stolen...

[@davelueders5842]

He doing this without any picks. Finger to finger, just smoking. She's hot and a player while the drummer is just so kicked back throwing a beat in every time needed. Luv these guys.

[@christophercox7407]

every once in a while, we are blessed with the opportunity to watch the reinvention of cool. Very, very cool. I'm now a fan.

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Have you ever had one of those days where you know your thirsty you mouth is dry you think could this be hay fever? You try milk pop water coffee.....must be hay fever... And then for apparent reason while surfing youtube Khruangbin it doesn't sound very refreshing but it cured my hay fever. Khruangbin Absolutely love them there style of music is so fresh. I was floored There friggen awesome!!!!

[@flapjackspaniel6523]

The drummer is like "I'm out if they ask me to copy their hairstyle".

[@bernlin2000]

These guys earn every shred of success and fame they get, seriously, what a fantastic sound.

[@universalhologram7266]

She's so pretty, and everyone here is so talented. Love this band!

[@aikoyonamine]

Groovy is the word

[@russjohnson1715]

Love how the Captions say 'Music' when they sing.

[@rosemarywessel1294]

Some of the best, most chill stuff I've heard in 50 years. It's great hearing music that breathes. This stuff will activate your parasympathetic nervous system and soothe your soul.

[@MA-lp7rp]

[@StillOnTrack]

I lolled at that. Immature senses of humor for teh win! :)

[@udeychowdhury2529]

May they remain in light!!!! Discovered them today -the joy!!!🌹

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

I stumbled across this because Rhett Shull (@RhettShull) made a video on this band. It's a deep rabbit hole, but I'm not complaining. Amazed at the seeming simplicity of the music and the relative depth and breadth that is accomplished by a mere three members. DJ is one of the most on-time drummers I have watched and listened to, and with a very simple kit. Thank you all for this one 🙏

[@fearsomebunny]

Been listening daily for weeks now. Help! Wife caught the bug too and now demands it whenever possible... We might as well just play it in the delivery room while she goes to town(she's due in two weeks)! Fun facts that I found fascinating and a huge apologies if you knew already... 1. Mark Speer was a bassist but got more work playing the guitar, and that paid the bills. 2. Laura Lee learned how to play the bass just before joining the band. She had the same set of D’addario flat-wound strings on since 2010 just before she join the band. Those are the ones I liked...

[@gengisdon]

Roy Chang Congrats!

[@kevinlebrun2307]

Roy Chang fact 1 is surprising since 99 out of 100 stringed instrumentalists are guitar players. I've only met one bassist ive vibed with in 15 years of playing and I dont live in the sticks either. I suppose when you play like speer you get lots of offers though.

[@fearsomebunny]

Thank you!

[@jcbdwsn]

Any chance the baby's going to be named after one of the band members haha?
