I'm nearly 60 and this is some of the best songwriting I've heard in a lifetime of loving almost every musical genre. Her band is super tight and this is a real pleasure to immerse myself into. A rare talent.
I was thinking exactly this as I was watching. Absolute guitar goddess! And the two guitars give me a kind of Television-y vibe in how well they complement and support each other, and each do interesting things at all times.
She sounds amazing! I don't know about you, but I rather listen a vocalist with lots of feeling and emotion than "perfectly" sung performance with no sentiment. This show made me like them even more now
People complaining about her voice: you do know this is indie rock, right? Sometimes more enjoyable than a perfect voice is reaching for that one note and not quite grabbing it. Lighten up.
you are talking to the generation that has grown up watching fake-reality TV shows where douchebags do karaoke versions of NSYNC songs to a backing track, and we are supposed to call them talented musicians
frarfarf I assure you no person who finds this music great grew up watching singing competitions. This is good indie rock. Compelling in its imperfections. Move along if you have nothing to say.
@@sonichallbartender dude you could not have misunderstood me more if you tried. Firstly, I love this music. My post was talking to 'the people complaining about her voice' as the OP referenced. These complainers are the ones who think everything is a singing contest and they are completely missing the point.
Reminds me of the best local bands of the 90s nobody ever heard, like your favorite local band that should be something but are probably too cool and not chasing a trend enough for people to see them correctly. Plus alot of my favorite bands from back then too. They feel natural and real, a band with actual personality. I love how thats becoming more the focus with people instead of genre concepts that become parodies. All those cool bands didnt know what they were, just who they were, which they couldnt help or wouldn't want to change.
This comment is the one! Always look for something different and new out of a live performance, that’s what makes it worth revisiting. Also big ups for Melted, one of the greatest garage rock/psych punk records ever!!
As a former member of 1988-92 fuzzy guitar rock with pretty vocals genre I love that these kids are doing it so well. Pretty voice with in- determinant chords a wash in fuzz; what is not to love?
I have the same one in the same colour. Always kinda wish I got a jazz master instead though, I coukd never part with it though it has way too much sentimental value now
"Heat Wave" is my song of 2018. She's so much wiser than her years and a voice like a beautifully untuned-violin.. Holy crap and playing MSG in 2019!!!! The interaction with Megan is R-E-A-L.
5 years later and still fucking excellent. just noticed we play the same amp! Ampeg Reverberocket 212. Such an underrated rig and I was overjoyed to see one in the wild in such an excellent band.
i've only recently found this group, but in the short time i've known them, i've listened to lush 25-30 times and i'm going to see this them week. god damn - they are AMAZING.
So good, her voice is unique... I love MUSIC I'm not trained just a Fan of a lot of genres n as an olden.... 42 ... I LOVE hearing what this generation listens to. These fellas have a very mellow n beautiful vibe, many blessings to ya guys!!!! Namaste!!!
YES!! Been waiting for this to be posted!! I was touring KEXP the afternoon this was recorded and was able to sit in on the majority of the performance in the sound booth with my husband and my 6 year old son!! SO AWESOME! This group is going to be HUGE!
As someone who typically enjoys heavier rock, this is not exactly what I expected to enjoy, but I’m loving this album, primarily for Lindsey’s vocals. 👍
Just discovered this band yesterday and really enjoy their music. When I first got into playing guitar, alternative/grunge was what I played. This reminds of that time of my life. This band is super talented!
Just watched a great live Sleater Kinney show from 2015, on TH-cam and the singer from this band is in the front row dancing with a huge grin on her face! So cool to see a spiritual link between these two great bands!
I love this album. It reminds me of the music I listened to when I was their age. Especially The Swirlies :) and the tip about The Alvvays was great. I didn't even know about that band.
huh, normally i like their album versions a little better, but this recording knocks it out of the park for me. looking forward to seeing what they do next!
Ok look..if they are on kexp then they ALREADY made it!! This is where established, touring acts come to die, no jk, but really, you wanna find undiscovered groups try your local, all ages venue.
You know how hard it is to play this song and sing at the same time? The way its played most of the time is so difficult to keep your mind on the words and timing.
did anyone else try and listen specifically for a guitar mistake/out of key note the whole song and not finding one? she is classically trained in guitar apparently which I think is a cool factoid. her voice is so strong in this set. Awesome sound engineers too.
Fantastic performance!

Go hear Car Seat Headrest, it has one of the best songwriting I've heard
@@alexanderarea6157 or modest mouse, absolutely UNREAL lyrics
@@PotatoMaGobinus My favourite MandMs
Is nobody gonna talk about what a good guitarist she is? like damnnnnn! Super cool!
I will, she rips. Plus that jag sounds fantastic!
I was thinking exactly this as I was watching. Absolute guitar goddess! And the two guitars give me a kind of Television-y vibe in how well they complement and support each other, and each do interesting things at all times.
Is good, I agree 🤙
Her unique vocals are definitely much better. Her guitar work is great for sure.
She's not a bad singer either!
She sounds amazing! I don't know about you, but I rather listen a vocalist with lots of feeling and emotion than "perfectly" sung performance with no sentiment. This show made me like them even more now
Agreed
Amazing? The vocals are garbage
@@paintsilj let’s hear your song chief
@@RadiantPudding I'm not a singer. And nor is she. She doesn't sound amazing. Very average.
@@paintsilj its good for some people, relax
People complaining about her voice: you do know this is indie rock, right? Sometimes more enjoyable than a perfect voice is reaching for that one note and not quite grabbing it. Lighten up.
I think she has a good voice its just that when you see someone live, they should hit the notes of their damn songs man.
I like her authenticity and lilting, shifting notes. It's real music, man.

Yeah. Make me feel teenage again listening to this band, when music and the world seemed a little more simple.
that was a fun nostalgia story that has no basis in reality
Idk, this band is fine but they sound like literally every other indie rock band from the last 8 years.
Tyler Davis couldn’t be farther from the truth
yes! i miss Velocity Girl.
As a 41 year old this reminds me of the music i listened to as a child. Pixies and such. I love it keep it up
This is exactly why KEXP is the best actual introductory on new music. Well done Snail Mail!
OK- her coolness factor just increased by 10x now that I know she plays ice hockey....
3:27 the way she says "find" is way different than the album version and it's such a nice touch
sounds like built to spill.
cloudwatcher I was thinking they sounded like a slightly more mellow built to spill, with a female vocalist. Idk why but they just do.
nick sweet makes me think of robert smith

The way she sings "Slug" in the Audiotree performance is my personal favorite. She puts a little distortion in there and it sounds so fucking good.
Her voice is so STRONG! Obsessed with this band. I can't wait to see them live in Richmond VA
Such a cool and talented band. Got to love their sound too..
Man, you are everywhere.
As a former member of 1988-92 fuzzy guitar rock with pretty vocals genre I love that these kids are doing it so well. Pretty voice with in- determinant chords a wash in fuzz; what is not to love?
what was your band called
Lindsey is such a talented songwriter! Great performance and album of the year for me so far.
Very happy that the band got a recording contract. Their first release (Lush) is exceptional. Can’t wait to hear more.
God bless that drummer. She often slows the time just enough to create anticipation and he keeps the beat steady
They should do a cover of "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins. This is just a random thought lol, but I'm sure they would sound amazing.
That would be cool.
I agree boi
Good call
its cool.
Lol thats funny my sister just said that this track reminds her of that song!
it's so good. I love how much intensity she puts in her singing even though the songs seem quite 'monotone' - it really does it for me.
This connects with me on a spiritual level. Fucking flawless songwriting.
this is the most indie indie band I've seen in a while
I want that red fender jaguar
I have the same guitar in blue, it's the best guitar I've ever owned.
Looks like a special edition with different switches, too!
I have the same one in the same colour. Always kinda wish I got a jazz master instead though, I coukd never part with it though it has way too much sentimental value now
@@mightyV444 I'm pretty sure it's an American Professional Jaguar. The Johnny Marr jaguar has a similar control scheme
@@plankerton90 - Yes, you're right! I've meanwhile done my own research, too! ;-)
This brings back memories of when I started listening to indie rock in the early '90s and why I fell in love with this kind of music
20:04 when she couldn't get the lryics "we can" out in "we can be anything". That made me feel some typea way man oh man
"Heat Wave" is my song of 2018. She's so much wiser than her years and a voice like a beautifully untuned-violin.. Holy crap and playing MSG in 2019!!!! The interaction with Megan is R-E-A-L.
Love that she likes Alvvays. Both their debut album and Lush are among my favorites
Wow. I turned this up very very loud and went for a cruise. Awesome. :)
She has awesome voice, it is like new dimension
5 years later and still fucking excellent. just noticed we play the same amp! Ampeg Reverberocket 212. Such an underrated rig and I was overjoyed to see one in the wild in such an excellent band.
i've only recently found this group, but in the short time i've known them, i've listened to lush 25-30 times and i'm going to see this them week. god damn - they are AMAZING.
Wow, love it. I really like her singing, gives it a nice edge. Cool band.
Love the freshness and honesty of this
Fabulous, saw her supporting Interpol at Madison Square Gardens. Love it!
That’d be awesome. This would be the perfect band to get me stoked for my OG NYC gloom merchants.
Wow. I love coming to KEXP for new music. This is just amazing
So good, her voice is unique... I love MUSIC I'm not trained just a Fan of a lot of genres n as an olden.... 42 ... I LOVE hearing what this generation listens to. These fellas have a very mellow n beautiful vibe, many blessings to ya guys!!!! Namaste!!!

Snail Mail Rules!
Said No One.
Just kidding, they’re good.
yes they do!
The sound engineer nailed it!
Those drums sound like the song thic
I KNOW huhu
100%, sound quality is top notch and well balanced.
Sometimes some bands sounds better than the original album studio version.
Pristine is soo guuuud !
Favourite song atm
Heat wave ftw
Love an original sound with a great songwriter and a refreshingly unique voice, just discovered them, love um

Men I Trust please
Yes.
Yes! Fuck yes! That needs to happen!!!!!!!!!!!
bruh men I trust is god tier
yep, Men I Trust has the sickest melody ever :)) hope to see them one day on KEXP
HELL YES, my dude! 👌🏽
So smart beyond her years. Every time I see this I think "Holy shit!!"
I love this album. It reminds me of the music I listened to when I was their age. Especially The Swirlies :)
and the tip about The Alvvays was great. I didn't even know about that band.
Beautiful! In tears during Pristine. Thanks, Snail Mail and KEXP.
im obssessed with her voice
I don't know what it is but I just love her voice! So good!
Wow!
This band deserves pure happiness.
Absolutely brilliant!
I love that rhythm style lead guitar she plays. Can't wait to see them in Seattle in January
Johnny Marr-ish. Love the tone too.
love this band, love her voice.......
remember that she’s 19 here. immense talent
I love this performance she is a good artist and btw the host is beautiful
She's got great tone in her voice.
I have so much respect for this girl almost half my age that plays like I always aspired to :)
huh, normally i like their album versions a little better, but this recording knocks it out of the park for me. looking forward to seeing what they do next!
amazing guitar skills.
Singing this type of music genre takes a lot of effort not to cry when performing.
i fucken agree
Lmaooo
This is theee best performance ive seen yet! awesome work guys!
they're going to go places i can tell
If the drummer gets to practicing, that's true. I think his sloppiness is the one thing holding them back.
Ok look..if they are on kexp then they ALREADY made it!! This is where established, touring acts come to die, no jk, but really, you wanna find undiscovered groups try your local, all ages venue.
who ever mixed this thank you 🙏
Cool voice!! Best rock 2022
Love her outfit!
Good stuff.
Fantastic!!!
This band is fucking awesome. Saw them this summer in Chicago and seeing them again in January!
Bill Garcia YOOO I just saw them last night in Chicago, they were amazing!!
Damn that jaguar. Beautiful color, sounds perfect too.
great band, Lindsey is very talented and so young!
I love her Singing styled. ❤🎉😊
This is a truly incredible performance, at this point I’ve rewatched this too many times to count 😅
She’s wonderful
This is about as indie and college as it gets. I like it!
love this, Lindsey! you're so talented
Lindsay! Love you!
love that jag
hell yeah, i think it's the johnny marr jag.
Good band, good tunes. Love 'em!!
The whole album is great.
I love this band, true indie artists. I also love KEXP, truly the best musician advocates in the business.
This is pretty good!
Class act!
loved that wild-ass intro on Heat Wave xD
Really love her songs.
I love her raw and honest vocals and the band is pretty great as a whole - looking forward to seeing whats next for them
Jordan bangsat ♥️
She's remind me of my favorite female musician, kim deal.
I love Jordan Bangsat😂 ,
What's bangsat?
Get that drummer on a metronome for a month! These songs deserve a solid foundation. Fantastic work Lindsey!
Oh my god finally I love her music
You know how hard it is to play this song and sing at the same time? The way its played most of the time is so difficult to keep your mind on the words and timing.
That’s why you practice
One of my favs.
I like her. I think she's a talented.
I've been waiting for this ever since they came on the radio here in SLC
did anyone else try and listen specifically for a guitar mistake/out of key note the whole song and not finding one? she is classically trained in guitar apparently which I think is a cool factoid.
her voice is so strong in this set. Awesome sound engineers too.
Love Snail Mail!
(also neat Audrey Horne necklace ^^)
I LOVE this IS performance 🫶✨
Great new edition to the indie rock genre.
awesome!
She went to my highschool! This is fuckin dope
I’ve been waiting for this!!!!!
seeing them live next month, so pumped!
amazing
