Man, I had the opposite reaction to this one. This is one of the most poorly mixed instances of their catalogue in my mind. Lead vocals are super hot and *really* need a pop filter.
She plays one chord at 5:31 that reminded me of another song but I couldn't for the hell of me remember which song, it sounds like the start of, 'You're the One,' by the Black Keys.
2019 Dear Melina Mae Duterte, Are you related to the President of the Philippines? Were you born and raised in the Philippines? How is it to live in the Philippines? Do you have gigs there? P.S. Awesome Band!
Their album is pretty good, but yikes, the live vocals in this set are so uninspiring. Maybe the KEXP people just don't know how to mic up to her strengths. Meek, bedroom vocal style doesn't always translate well live.
I love Jay Som's music. it's too bad they sound terrible live... I saw them earlier this year and it just wasn't a very good show. The only person that looked like they were having fun was their drummer :/
Dominic Cruz not sure what you heard but I saw them two months back in Chicago and the set was incredible and the band was having a blast, to boot. Their stage presence is charismatic as hell. You can find the show by searching for them with Shows from Schubas.
Bit odd for me this. I'm not one to stick by a live sound just cause I like the band, if its shit I'll say it is. But I saw them in London last week and they were genuinely tight as hell, loads of pretty flourishes that aren't on the last album, vox / bass especially on point throughout.
You see this young lady and you expect her to ask for the language of origin and spell a word, and then she starts singing and you want to make love to her. Very nice.
one of the best albums on 2017
definitely maybe
Good one bud
The best according Paste
According to*
KEXP doing amazing things with these live performances. Shouts out to the editor and the audio engineer. These videos are soooooo well made
EXACTLY, this is internet content done RIGHT.

Dear Melina Mae Duterte,
Are you related to the President of the Philippines?
Were you born and raised in the Philippines?
How is it to live in the Philippines?
Do you have gigs there?
P.S.
Awesome Band!
Love that King Gizzard gets a mention
Props to the guitarist's Full of Hell shirt :3
I like the fact they seem to do the inverse of most bands - play the tunes slower live than they do on record.
Please invite Vagabon!
HI FILIPINO FRIENDS
😊😁😄😆😇💕💕💕👌👌👌👏👏👏

No it doesn't
wtf

ALBERTO BALSALM check the tiny desk performance
the album is cool but this live show is meh.
cubicle their npr set does them a lot of justice
I love Jay Som's music. it's too bad they sound terrible live... I saw them earlier this year and it just wasn't a very good show. The only person that looked like they were having fun was their drummer :/
This is live and sounds good, what are you talking about?
John Smith yeah it sounds alright but it's nowhere near as good as the album versions.
Dominic Cruz not sure what you heard but I saw them two months back in Chicago and the set was incredible and the band was having a blast, to boot. Their stage presence is charismatic as hell. You can find the show by searching for them with Shows from Schubas.

Check their NPR show
the interviewer gets so weird around people of color.
what do you mean?
It's public radio. interviewers are always awkward
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH CHERYL WATERS IS A SAINT
cheryl is seriously a saint. shes like a rock n roll mother.
lmao this is such a weird comment
Terrible.
You see this young lady and you expect her to ask for the language of origin and spell a word, and then she starts singing and you want to make love to her. Very nice.
wtf
WTF indeed
welcome to the baby boomer generation
