Classic Julien

[@JackTheOtherOne]

His voice live has really improved since they started, they just get better and better

[@markowalski1]

I saw them on my birthday last November, this video doesn't really do it justice how good they are live

[@thiggs93]

No. They would be better off getting an actual singer.

Found this band through Spotify and I'm so glad I did. Every band, and artist, that I find is so unique and beautiful in their own way.

[@starky4079]

Same here, their latest album is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe they don’t get more attention!!

[@rupman27isback]

I can't count how many bands KEXP has got me into!! Keep em coming. These guys sound incredible!

[@loki475]

One of my favourite bands now, especially when the trumpet blasts away.

Connor Fletcher can you fill me in w what happened please?

[@connorfletcher3551]

@@nicklintner8383 I'm not sure exactly but I think she had some form of cancer and took some time off. It seems like she's recovered really well though!

[@jmk086]

My absolute favourite band at the moment! Really helps lift my spirits during lockdown. KEXP is the best, thanks for always hosting such incredible musicians!

[@joeymueser9257]

huge s/o to that acoustic guitar tone. it gets some awesome features in this set in the instrumental part of friend of mine & the intro to valleys (my love). Cheryl killing it as always

[@seanclancy2587]

When I first saw Whitney play, I was like "vocoding a trumpet, oh that's a cool way to do that live!" looks like the camera guy thought that was cool too.

[@spartankidthree]

So proud of these guys

[@Reminou572]

Love this band

“Maybe u should give up if that’s what it sounds like” HAH- Cheryl

[@olibrady1396]

Saw them at Lollapalooza and had never heard of them before but fell in love with their music. Been a fan ever since!

[@olibrady1396]

That trumpet gets me hyped every time I hear it, makes me feel like better days are coming.

[@samanthaseguinunnamedproject]

Wow, it sounds so crisp- and the horns are so good. You've got to love the maj7 chords.

[@Winterharbourmusic]

Maj7s are the best

[@jjmalaprop9968]

Saw Whitney as I was scouting new music on the Coachella stream in 2017. Based on Julien’s expression, it appeared to be a hot, sweaty, uncomfortable afternoon. But the music ... man. The music didn’t suffer. I was hooked. Seems like people are finally coming around. Good for them. Wishing them much success.

HUGE THUMBS UP

[@patch002]

A bit like Terence Trent d'Arby singing in falsetto at an Eagles concert imagining Abba meeting Simply Red and asking him:

[@flensoest]

Omg shut up

[@davidadams2395]

I like the way you think.

[@ninanee2008]

My comment from another live performance of this song. “Wish my dad was still alive. I would play this for him and he probably would have thought it was from his old vinyls. Sounds like Steely Dan, Neil Young, Tower of Power, etc rolled into one. Heard this job hunting online at Panera Bread. And for my age group, Whitney reminds me of Active Child.”

[@ahmadsyazwan5500]

woot woot!

[@OlavLadnav]

Nice

[@IHMadeThis]

I started listening to these guys last year. Their music sounds like petrichor. I dig.

[@davidadams2395]

I got into them when they were the Smith Westerns, which was also an acclaimed act. The dissolution of that band was disappointing, but Whitney made up for it.

[@jvgt2k]

A.M. AM 🖤🖤

[@margaretpew9205]

Loved your 1st Avenue show in Mpls in Oct. Thanks Josiah-from Amtrak buddy Todd!

[@Whitney]

Glad you enjoyed the show! It sure was fun!

[@janellkamm1717]

Oh yeah dialed it in. Way to be sensitive on what sounds work! Looking forward to all the great and unexpectable music from this band.

Such a shame that great music like this is dying! If you like Whitney, definitely check out 'Mrs Sunshine' by Syd Sister. We need to find a way to bring good music back!!

[@polymathematics_]

I don't think good music is dying. What makes you say that?

[@griff404]

good is relative. what's good to you may not be good to someone else.

WHERE’S GOLDEN DAYS

[@physicals]

hes not articulate with his talk

[@BingBongHell]

Honestly music is okay. Kind of just a rehash of 70s Americana. I really do not understand how people like that dudes voice. Also stop comparing them to The Band… it’s not gonna happen.

[@jootai]

its beyond me they dont get a drummer and let him just focus on his singin, he needs focus.

[@commanderrussels2612]

this guy is pretty stoned

[@seangray3189]

I had no idea Elon Musk could sing OR play drums!

[@TheWarrrenator]

I don’t care much for falsetto voices and I am the only one tired of all this boring dad rock stuff? There’s gotta be something good and new from Paradigm Talent Agency, KEXP.

This has made me lose confidence in the bands KEXP books
