Congratulations to The Young Fathers on winning The Mercury Music Prize last night. Well deserved. I dare say "Dead" will break the 3,000 sales barrier today. 30,000 next week! And wow, KEXP, you guys have your finger on the pulse to get these guys in for a live set back in May.
So pleased I caught them on this last tour, beyond pleased to get to see them again this go around. They blew my mind live - seriously, so absolutely incredible, unique, beautiful. Their passion is infectious.
Me too. They deserve some success! I've been kinda waiting for this sound for the past decade. I didn't know this WAS the sound I was looking for, I had no idea what it would be, but I knew I would know it when I heard it. I know it now!
Is this the best band of a new generation. Away from the long line of boring same sounding dross. You've got a mix of hip hop, punk, soul and ska all wrapped up in one great package.
You really hit the nail on the head, you don't fit in here. I relate 2 that, Like Meth in Belly man rolls solo, cut off every wasteman & left with very few, 5ish(in Fife). Saw Jack Beats few yrs ago b4 that Beastie Boys 99. Shit a'int easy when Ya gotta do it solo, still man loves it, just go with the flow & I would follow ya'll 2 hell & back. Thats ma word & word is bond!
I said G.D.M.F.S.O.B.! Wow! I'M speechless & I'm Nag very rarely is man stuck 4 words. #Love #Respect #Props @Naguk101 Please let me know if ya'll have a gig in Edin, I'm from Fife, would love 2 catch ya'll live.Been Hip-Hop fiend since 83, right back 2 the lyricism with neck snappin beats/tune. 1Love!
^^^they need to get a new presenter/interviewer this is twice iv heard him stumble through a full interview, its extremely degrading to such musical talent, an interest and background knowledge is not a hard ask!!
Hmmm, first time I've heard them and. . . . . Struggling to feel this. I'll try again tomorrow. Sounds like a compression of 4 or 5 genres woven together . . not sure what you are going to hear next. I suppose you have to be a Teenager or in your early 20s to get off on this. Not like the MMP judges to get it wrong. Hope it grows on me. Right now this stinking like a fart in a stuck elevator.
Well live tracks aren't normally the best way to get into a band. But that's the point, this band is their own band. They found a way to create a unique sound that isn't subjected to a genre and I give them huge credited for that. But if you're trying to get into this look up their song "I Heard" and just play the TH-cam playlist for the song. A lot of their songs take a bit of getting use to at first, but by the end of the song you can get completely into it. Their song "Get Up", which was the 3rd one they played in this video, is a perfect example of that, but like I said, try the studio version.
Dude, it's the very fact that you do not know what sound they are going to play with next that DOES make them so interesting! Nice to see a group take an established sound, mix it up, break the rules and invent something new. Hope you do wake up in the zone that gets you diggin....

can't get enough of these boys. Seen them in Manchester, then at Glastonbury Festival. STILL NOT ENOUGH!
first time listening to these guys, they're fucking awesome.
Ditto
Even better live
Holy smoke, they just blew my mind . . . PHUCK
They basically took something obscure and brought it to the surface, Mercury as out done themselves
there is something seriously cool about those analogue synths
One of the best bands I have ever seen live. And I have seen hundreds.
These young men deserve it all - such talent
They're a lot better than I expected them to be live. Dead is a great album, the tapes are good too.
So pleased I caught them on this last tour, beyond pleased to get to see them again this go around. They blew my mind live - seriously, so absolutely incredible, unique, beautiful. Their passion is infectious.
Too amazing! Dear lord, I'm loving this.
Me too.
They deserve some success!
I've been kinda waiting for this sound for the past decade. I didn't know this WAS the sound I was looking for, I had no idea what it would be, but I knew I would know it when I heard it.
I know it now!
"a trio from edding-borrow" goddamnit man
a different taste from my usual indie and acoustic, but i've warmed to it! Great performance. Love the depth in the poetry.. bold and edgy!
Ah man I love these so much. INFECTIOUS AND ADDICTIVE!!

Even though I saw these guys live in Chicago and am a HUGE fan of their music, the synth line from Get Up makes me grimace.

Was Rose nervous or what. Been listening to them since Tape One and it's great to know that they refuse to stop evolving their sound.
FreshAiR

I'd say this music is built to be a struggle for a lot of listeners. It's a feature, not a bug.
Free your mind and your ass will follow.

Not studio, meant to say album version in that last sentence.
Dude, it's the very fact that you do not know what sound they are going to play with next that DOES make them so interesting!
Nice to see a group take an established sound, mix it up, break the rules and invent something new.
Hope you do wake up in the zone that gets you diggin....
Zzzzzzx...
Americans pronouncing Edinburgh is just a mess 🤣🤣🤣
13:52 - strangest moment of the whole interview process
Nice real nice keep it UP
