this is seriously good stuff. what a musicality. its the first time i see who plays it. The music seemed like old stuff made now. Nice sintetizado, really amazing voice, suprising. Keep going. Bravo!
Yeah, the live recordings I've seen haven't been great. His vocals always seems sketchy...don't think there is any avoiding it. I saw them at a festival last summer and they sounded great...even his vocals were good.
You guitar heads and your "tone". Honestly, it has a lot to do with the room that they're playing in and the choices of the sound engineer. The knobs can only do so much..
the interview would be a lot less awkward without the interviewers facial expression, Julien seemed more creeped out that purposefully rude or anything
Does anyone know how they make the trumpet sound so full? Are they synthesizing other horns on one of the keyboards? Damn they sound awesome. Love this band
awesome ! a few things to state: these guitars look f* beautiful the interviewer has a strange paranoid look the singer rocks but he could use a little overdrive, i feel like he is super on tune but hasnt got the same drive as on the record peacee
Jin J me too my friend me too. Hey but if you liked Smith Westerns check out Cullen Omori's solo stuff his sound has kinda stayed the same since the break up.
Having a drummer as the lead singer seems to make all the other elements really intricate. It makes such a good sound!
Bryn Jenkins had no idea the singer was the drummer
Yes, it's like this integration that happens...
Their performances sounds so much better in this setting!
One of the most underrated bands out for sure...Love these dudes so much!!!
Matty Bee underrated? They are pretty successful man
Golden days is such a good song, that guitar sound is so nice
The trumpet and nah nah nah at end is one of my favorite musical moments of the last decade
I could watch kakacek play all day. Total genius, underrated guitar player.
the contrast between the singer's vibe and the interviewers
Thank you KEXP for the upload... this is now my best way to discover bands that are not well represented in our old Europe...😁
id highly recommend downloading spotify! :)

deadasamau5 yeah you are right!! The sound is amazing and this band is so fresh!! 😋
nicolas etrab I really enjoyed seeing them live in the summertime
thank you for taking me an octave higher to heaven ..
kexp always bring good bands
The interviewer did great for his first one on here
i've seen him do this before.
tough band to interview as well
he's old man, his wide eyed mug has been doing interviews here for years.
Obviously bcs the lead man is an asshole. But music is great
Dafunckt why do u think he's an asshole? been to show of theirs just yesterday, and couldn't disagree more, he seems really kind and genuine
Saw these guys live in feb 2020 in an old church. They're incredible live. Still one of my all time favorite bands!
I fell in love with the singer help
it's quite severe
My favorite new discovery band of 2016.
this is seriously good stuff. what a musicality. its the first time i see who plays it. The music seemed like old stuff made now. Nice sintetizado, really amazing voice, suprising. Keep going. Bravo!
I feel like he could do a wicked Mickey Mouse impression
XD So true
John Smith you're so right

H-ha!!
I enjoy the slide guitar parts, reminds me of something George Harrison would play.
Pete Drake was the steel pedal guitarist on those Harrison songs.
so freakin nailed it , cheers from the phillipines
To the girl who broke up with Julien... THANK YOU! You indirectly helped gift the world some magical tunes!
Same i have been waiting for this band
Whoa, didn't know Kai The Hitchhiker had a band. He really smash-smash-sa-mashed those drums.
can always go back to this performance for some happiness
The intro to No Woman has some Radio head- Weird Fishes vibes going.
It’s the same chord progression (or really similar at that) so yeah for sure. Great stuff!
i've completely fallen in love with Whitney, thank you
very good mixing, bass and piano is loud and i love it,,, thanks kexp thanks Kevin Suggs
is it me or is this dude wicked blazed AF?
So good
So glad the finally made it on KEXP!!
No Woman is such a brilliant song
interviewer is trippin balls my guy
I didn't even know the Smith Westerns broke up. Glad to see some of them are still keeping the twee-soul vibes going.
pitchfork's wet dream
dude, totally
And now they're playing the fest this year lol
Great band. Thanks for this interview and live stuff
He didn't even kiss the guitarist...
Live sounds so sweet bro
I saw them live in Winnipeg. They were great
Looking forward to the new album!
creative.....give them a thumbs up !
any time i get into a new band i can type in the band name followed by kexp, and its always here
I love these boys so much ❤️
So good, just saw Whitney live perform a festival. It was easily the best band playing that weekend, great gig. See you soon
this is so good ♡♡♡ they're amazing
Love the album but I haven't seen any live performances yet where they do it justice... maybe in the flesh would make a big difference
Yeah, the live recordings I've seen haven't been great. His vocals always seems sketchy...don't think there is any avoiding it. I saw them at a festival last summer and they sounded great...even his vocals were good.
+timinno they've been touring a lot. I'm sure after a bit of a vocal rest the live performances will be great
They’re generally really good live! Seen them twelve times now
this fucking high-hat is killing me
I like this!
So smooth and pretty 👽
This is just 2 Harry Potters, a Hagrid, 2 hufflepuffs and Tyrion Lannister.
i love this
Who knew Seth Rogen is so good at trumpet
i`m crying
awwwwwesome
yayyy
well hello there felix! haha
aww ya`
nice to see you here, Paula!
Actually don't think the interview is awkward at all.
Rip the smith westerns
lead guitar tone is dryer than a desert
Better than another reverb band
Reverb does wonders.
they have a trumpet
It may not fit preference , but there is a purpose to the tone 🌀
You guitar heads and your "tone". Honestly, it has a lot to do with the room that they're playing in and the choices of the sound engineer. The knobs can only do so much..
the interview would be a lot less awkward without the interviewers facial expression, Julien seemed more creeped out that purposefully rude or anything
👍👍👍
The interviewer needs to let the questions hang a little bit. Jumps on the people wayyyy to much
it kinda feels like larry rose could interrogate suspects, 9/10 would fold under the pressure of his powerful glance
Seems like they're always asking these bands if they want to play some music. "....................No."
Does anyone know how they make the trumpet sound so full? Are they synthesizing other horns on one of the keyboards? Damn they sound awesome. Love this band
a bit late but the trumpet player (Will Miller) has talked about using an octave pedal to make it seem like there's more horns than there are.
❤
Talk about the stuff you don't wanna talk about please
Yessss
the end of the interview was a bit akw. hahahaha
I thought his voice was gonna crack any minute a little short on breathing technique perhaps?
4:15
sexlovemarshmellows Spinetta
these guys are so handsome
No woman 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
DON'T BLINK
awesome !
a few things to state:
these guitars look f* beautiful
the interviewer has a strange paranoid look
the singer rocks but he could use a little overdrive,
i feel like he is super on tune but hasnt got the same drive as on the record
peacee
That Mustang sounds like everything a Mustang isn't
Does the host blink sometimes? Please guys, I'm worried
En algunos momentos la guitarra suena al slide de George Harrison.
Las guitarras son perfectas
Did he say that influence they discovered was Jim Ford? Or what was the name of that artist, that he mentioned. Does anyone know??
That nudity jokes were uncalled for
Very cool. I miss the Smith Westerns though...
Jin J me too my friend me too. Hey but if you liked Smith Westerns check out Cullen Omori's solo stuff his sound has kinda stayed the same since the break up.
The interviewer looks absolutely crushed off something.
Why is this guy the most un organised interviewer of all time?
ALWAYS
These guys are the new "Eagles"
whats that keyboard
i found out, i think its a Korg SV-1. very sick
I have one.. they are awesome!
jelly!!
9:59 Weed vs MDMA
Ahahahahha I see it
The vocalist looks like John Lennon.
By the way, who came for Life is Strange?
Too bad he doesn’t sing like him 😂
Anyone know what the keyboard is in this video?

First time I ever heard No Woman I thought it was Neil young
Paul dano has a good voice
What's the ride and hi-hat?
Jim Fore? 10:48

The drummer looks like a even cuter Sean Lennon!!!😍

Does anyone know what kind of glasses Julien is wearing?
Warby Parker.
