The audio engineers in these sessions don't get nearly enough credit. Mindblowing mix

KEXP is truly in a League of their own. The bands they book, the production value, the sound engineer, the interviews. Masterful.

It always amazes me how whenever I find a great new artist, KEXP has already had them

Having Japanese breakfast while watching Japanese breakfast in Japan.

The guitarist is HER HUSBAND? No wonder he always has that big goofy smile on his face. :) Good for them!

Diving Woman is such a wall of sound. Greatness.

I agree with Locksh, KEXP sound engineers are ultra talented. They're pumpin' out killer mixdowns. Heck, prefer the KEXP mixes better than the album. Incredible artists! She oozes raw emotion, articulate, and humble. Definitely influenced by bands of the late 80's. Remind me of The Psychedelic Furs.

the bass in this is nice and strong

shes such a gem. protect her at all cost.

Cheryl: the comforting energy that always brings balance to the force.

God I love her

Yo I love how she gets super into the vocals and then just immediately gets serious, anyone else notice that? She's fucking fantastic I love her

That bass That mix That voice Omg This is MUSIC!

Booked tickets to see Japanese Breakfast last night and now they're on KEXP youtube? Proof Cheryl Waters is a wizard

I find it hard to believe this is a live mix, sounds incredible. KEXP is my few drinks goto on a Friday evening at home.

Diving Woman: 0:34 Road Head: 7:18 The Body Is A Blade: 17:30 Boyish: 21:30 If you're watching for the first time, don't skip the interview! It's pretty cool

Diving woman is a such a tour de force. That huge, intergalactic wall of sound is such a sublime thing to behold

When she says “I want you, and you want something more beautiful”.....I die inside she is literally a beauty.....also most of this is about her husband ? I HOPE HE AINT LOOKING AT NO HOSTESES

Her voice fits perfectly for some reason, like the best of 90s songs

I discovered this band about an hour ago. I was looking on Spotify for "japanese music," hoping for traditional Japanese music. I found this instead, and thought I'd just see what it was like. It took about 10 seconds for me to be hooked. This album is fecking amazing, and I think I might be binging on this for the next week or so.

Fabulous; they have an old soul vibe about them, a band this young can’t be this incredible, but they are; they’re limitless.

I hardly ever can say I truly like a piece of music that's new to me on my first listen but 'Diving Woman' is such a fantastically strong opener. It has these flourishes of being dreamy, shoegaze'ish, and even a little jammy in its own way. The guitars and bass sound so crisp and bright and tight and her voice is quite remarkable. Absolutely envious my cousin saw them live at The Thing in Port Townsend just a little over a week ago. Little wonder why he raved about them.

these voices are so clear. why is this not the standard????

Cheryl Waters is a national treasure

Cheryl kills as always, such a great interview...

Boyish is so dreamy, such a nice song.

I really believe KEXP can read my mind

Put this music into space 24/7 and there will ALWAYS be interstellar peace.

KEXP, Cheryl and the audio engineer gang stay killing the game

Japanese Breakfast are amazing and this performance is perfect.

I'm in a KEXP youtube rabbit hole and every single band is awesome

In my next life I want Cheryl to be my mom. Best childhood ever!

I immediately bought their album after about .5 seconds of listening. I did not make a mistake.

Wonderful interview and performance

It's REALLY nice to hear her be really honest. Makes listening more meaning full.

Sooo relaxing

Such great energy - the kind of sounds you can just wrap yourself up in.

She make me smile whole day

gotta love the purple lights in this studio completely complimenting this music

Love this KEXP!! Beautiful voice!

These songs brought me to tears

It's here!

listening to these jams makes me wanna give everyone a big hug

Dancing in my dark room 4am, their music is just delightful.

Oh my god I saw them live a month ago and this feels like being straight back to that night!

One minute in and I know it's gonna be a fun ride! Thank you yet again, KEXP!

Awesome sound. Love this band.

Anybody else die inside as soon as she said “husband” ?

Great relaxing music and a sweet voice.

KEXP, your sound engineers are of another dimension.

Never heard these guys before. Lovely dreamy sound.

This is so inspired ... and yes, the audio engineers are awesome, respect.

So happy these guys are getting the recognition they deserve.. I saw them at a tiny venue in Brooklyn 3 years ago.

Body Is A Blade is such a beautiful song

These four songs just happen to be my favourite songs off the album. Thank you KEXP

I really appreciate you people who list which songs are being played at specific times. If no one else does, than I do...thank you so much. :)

beautiful beautiful live

This song makes me tear up.. but in a good way 🥲 so much emotion conveyed in her voice

She cute and so honest! It’s lovely and refreshing! Sorry for your loss losing a parent is a very sticky and hurtful experience! I’m glad music is helping you cope! Keep on spacing out!

Love this so so good

Excellent!

This is a really great band! So nice to hear a great modern lo-fi indie sound.

Absolutely love their sound

I love their sound!!!!

WOW! Another stellar band I discovered on KEXP. Keep 'em coming! Kudos to the sound engineers. Every show sounds spectacular.

This is the medicine I needed

I saw Michelle in Eugene at a pizza place when she was still is high school I think.? So glad to see and hear her again. I could tell she was special. Love from Eugene!

WOW This is my first time listening to this band and they are amazing and the audio on this video is GREAT!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
