[@jdgonzo1982]

i've loved these guys ever since their original two tapes came out...their approach to music and life is quite inspiring!! so much freedom and character in all of their songs/tunes...and none of it is done to please the mainstream...which, for me, gives even more credibility to artists as i know they are making the music because they love it and are not chasing the "lifestyle" and money! If you haven't heard their early material i recommend Tape 2 as a good starting point... :) x

[@citlalligonzalez8724]

Heard and saw them for the first time when they opened for Depeche Mode in Vancouver on Friday. I have to say I am blown away by the caliber of their work, they filled me with pure energy.

[@man6a18]

Pure energy of life. How can someone restrict the desire of dancing?

[@owlofathena1247]

Is this what music from the future is like?

[@rodrigoaramayo9700]

Probably

[@nuffzed2001]

What a time to be alive everything is so amazing

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

They ARE great but it's not like they are the ony amazing unique band/music act out there...

[@luuismarquez]

Currently I'm feeling that this is the best song ever.

[@samalex582]

SAME!

[@Vampychoco]

Same here, as well ❤️‍🩹

[@koyaaanisquatsi]

same

[@0bserver44]

That happens every time they release something tho lol

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Well, it's not unusual for a person to feel that when they listen to music they love, yet over time you will feel that another song (maybe even by this very band) is ''the best song ever''... It is a great song for sure~

[@lorddenselmichel8796]

I imagine this being the audible equivalent of an acid trip

[@raephstro]

Not quite, still an excellent tune though.

[@petitnicollas]

Unironically Wow

[@максимлавров-й6ч]

То выступление, что заставляет возвращаться к себе из года в год, и прикоснувшись к искусству, уходить с неподдельным чувством восхищения и гордости за этих талантливых людей.

[@sukygill9998]

Best live band. Fact.

[@esabarbaridad]

can somebody explain me why is this so good??? fkn epic

[@Agothygoth]

Víctor Andrés Corea because it’s beautiful

[@sukygill9998]

Their refined rawness

[@fuckweedMegafayce]

Unusual music/beats style. Eclectic vocal and samples, energy, talent and raw

[@Caradocg]

The song is weird and psychedelic as hell while being equally as soulful and emotional

[@Rosariowilchesmusic]

What???? This is completely marvellous!!!!!!!!!!

[@upsurdman]

Как же они хороши живьём. Сгусток энергии и харизмы. Одно удовольствие наблюдать и слушать

[@ophiomorphos]

да они вообще хороши

[@reeenji]

wow... just wow

[@mcfearless9924]

This makes me proud to be scottish.

[@bellyfluff9]

[@strictlynorton]

Props to Will Ashon for recognising TYF's uniqueness and signing them. Perfect kick in the groin of the mainstream. They're evolving too and sound amazing live. Tx KEXP.

[@akiraakiraakiraakira]

ty KEXP!!!!

[@matthewtarr616]

These guys are making truly original music in a time of standard cream paint genre blending. They've managed to take their influences and sound like no other band I've ever heard. I'm hooked! My ears feel refreshed.

[@moeezS]

One of the coolest British acts, can't even pin their genre heh. Would love to see them live.

[@ravantgarde1899]

Messofanego I think they’re actually from Scotland but agreed! Seeing them live would be so awesome

[@xorovod1]

Their live was one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed

[@ВасилийБаночкин-д8й]

I just want this song never ends

[@TheDyingPlant]

@2:56 When they both grab the mic stands and lean to the right all synchronized, then the camera pans right showing the guys side by side dancing. It's so good. I don't know why it just is awesome

[@BloomPool]
