I was in Iceland once, and believe me, you can feel this kind of music in the air.
If the internet did something good, it was giving the world KEXP
IDK if theres something in the water, but iceland cranks out some amazing music! love it!
It might our water is great! Hehe I think it's about that how big the music scene here in Iceland is for such a small country, the musicians here all know each other and you have to have a different sound from each other and that maybe pushes them to find a different sound, idk, it's just a thought!
I figured it was because you have to have some way of dealing with life when you live in darkness for half the year...
Seriously though. Asgeir. Kaleo. Of Monsters and Men. It's amazing.
Methane gas is in the water
Life goal: be as happy as that drummer.
Hard out .hes a classic
Well he has a Willie Nelson Tshirt on, so we know from where does his happyness come from... :-D
Humble guy, amazing music.
That drummer is intense, love it!
William Patino lol you must be trolling...
Riot 207 I love drummers like Carter Beauford, but it's not always necessary. You can be "next level" without trying to do too much. This drummer is phenomenal. He's technically sound. He knows when to throw in fills and when to keep it simple. He knows when to keep it clean, and he knows when to open it up. His playing gives the songs texture. For instance, at 25:52, 21:33, 22:42, 4:27, and 19:45.
He reminds me of the drummer from Rumspringa. If you haven't, you should check out their live version of "Shake Em Loose Tonight." I think you'll see what I mean. That video of Rumspringa, like this video, showcases a drummer who really has an ear for music and knows how to shape a song without overpowering it.
Thank you for your recommendation, I'll be sure to check him out.
I personally don't like the electronic kit he plays during this session. I feel Asgier sounds so much better acoustic than with full band. I just don't feel that Carter Beauford is a Neil Peart(Rush) or a Keith Moon(The Who) and will never be, especially if he stays to the electric drum bull crap.. (I am extremely against that type of drum style, I find it sounds cheap.)
+William Patino he's probably high. Explains his Willie Nelson t-shirt.
+William Patino His name is Helgi Svavar, he´s one of the best drummers in Iceland.
The host was so sweet and genuinely seemed interested in them! That's always great to see - someone who has taken the time to do their research. Especially considering he is quite shy, so she was able to guide their interview sessions well! :)
Cheryl Waters is ALWAYS the consummate professional! Such a great interviewer! She is a walking music encyclopedia!
It's cute, he's so shy :)
They are so talented, can't stop listening to their stuff !
+Enola L. they are not shy, they are awkward.
@@martinknap8466 Well, I would prefer being awkward over being a mean asshole (like you) any time :)
@@martinknap8466 just like me fr
God i love KEXP, always bringing in the most interesting artists.
Amazing guy and amazing music I love it! Iceland is on my list for sure especially after hearing his music. Representing Iceland In a great way.
Love the host Cheryl! She is the best host ever :) and Asgeir is amazing.
Ásgeir is phenomenal. Home is phenomenal.
But none of it all is as phenomenal as the drummer at 0:29.
Hell, even at 4:44.
+Jacques Gross i can't stop laughing hahahahahahahahahaha
Well, that's such a tiny voice for a viking.
I like the Icelandic versions better.
Thank you KEXP for the live-stream of this performance! Technology is great, I was watching this performance live from the other end of the world (in Indonesia) on the palm of my hand through my iPod touch. I would love to see him live one day though! :)
Adhi S we live in such a good time
@@bartjuhh12 2015-16 were such good times :')
@@RubenSprng absolutely, still are :)
@@bartjuhh12 glad to see after 7 years you're still here on youtube haha! Cheers
This is a lovely set. I had the pleasure of seeing Ásgeir live three times as Hozier's opener and was very impressed. Thanks for this, KEXP!
I saw them this weekend when they opened for Hozier at the Orphium .....they did amazing. I have found another band that I love and will play on repeat!!!!
Their sounds and his voice are really touching my soul, softly...
Does anybody know what the deal is with their outfits? Is this sort of Appalachian American-style popular in Iceland? Is it part of their image for this musical project? Coming from Texas, I see the camouflage, flannel, and trucker hats in a certain sense and did not expect to see it here with these musicians! Totally curious. Great music!
just got back from Iceland, totally in vogue, beards a must, long eylashes to keep your eyes from freezing and trucker hats under hoods totally on trend.
yeb the beard thing has been going on here for some time now, i am guilty as well, but mainly because is use it as an excuse to not shave..
believe me when i say that there clothes are not part of an image, this is music for the sake of music, there is no such thing as an pre fabricated image
Watching in 2019 and still love the music. Great performance and host.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this album and this was a gorgeous performance...Juli (sp.) never gets quite enough credit though...he's been here since the very beginning and seems to contribute a LOT...
Ásgeir is 2000x better than justin bieber, nicky minaj and all that trash... They have milions of views.. Ásgeir have just 200k views in the songs.. Cruel world :s
It's better this way, for us fans at least. I don't wanna imagine asgeir's pure heart go "bieber, minaj famous"? Strong essences are kept in small bottles. Let us be the few and choiced 😝
Angelic harmony :D
Amazing performance of such a moving music by an overwhelming gang of musicians!
0:28 going home
06:11 summer guest
18:41 king and cross
22:28 ao grafa sig i fonn
Talented, sweet and handsome.
And a great host.
Love all your work. The funny thing is when you sing home (one of my Favorites) I think of pictures of Iceland! Not bad! Ontario, Canada An Icelander Ef aðeins í anda.
Oh my god! This is so incredible performance
i don't like the icelandic versions better because i actually don't understand it and don't pretend to
no need to understand it, just enjoy the music
daRealest Five Well, I advice you to check the marvellous diversity of non-English speaking singers around the world, you'll probably find great things ;)
Nigga, I dont speak Icelandic either, but the original versions are way better. It just flows way better
i think you absolutly need a beard to play in asgeir
Tembuyser Tompie I know this is from like a year ago, but ásgeir is the name of the lead singer, not the band
This is his solo project
3:48 gets me every time. Sounds like whales crying for their "lost homes" on the oceans. I love this dude!
I would love to hear him collaborate with Sóley
he is just so talented! obsessed with his voice and his sound!
I did not expect them to sound anything like this. Goes to show you never to assume what they sound like based on their clothing.
The first song, EARGASM.
I wish I can see him perform live here in the Philippines
Lead singer super hot
The drummer at 4:43 reminds me of some kind of crazed percussion pirate
Awesome.......... Musical,Mood, Minimal, and Beutiful emotion
2021 and i love these guys!
Holy shit. He's hot AND talented
Shiiiiiiiiiiy that version of King and Cross was so good!!!
WOW got my attention. Opening so alive ... !!!
Franky S lol always a crabby pants in the bunch
i like his character
I find it pretty unbelievable that this doesn't even have 500k views in 10 years. Waiting for Ásgeir to blow up and this video getting millions of views.
I can't believe i was sleepin on him. 🤦🏿♂️
Harmonies remind me of State Radio/Dispatch
im having a serious case of beard envy...
Oh it was funny when Cheryl said she 'heard about' Iceland Airwaves and smiled ^_^
This is my first time hearing this in english and I think it is just a totally different dimension almost like 2 different bands.
Wow this is Amazing the keyboarding is insane.Well done Asgeir! and high 5 to the drummer!
Jesus this is amazing....love the deep expressions of voice and synthesized beats
You literally have no idea how excited this is making me !!! Friday at the Fonda in LA is going to be unreal
Sometimes I don't even understand how I don't find out about these bands sooner. This is pretty good and the interview is so awkward in the best way :)
hahahaah kexp interviews are always a bit awkward. don't know why... check the one for Bomba Estereo and the one for Kimbra...
Mário Longhi Wow, so the Kimbra was here on KEXP too? That's great, have to check her performance, thanks. =)
Sergey Shidlovsky yes, just search "kimbra full performance kexp". as per usual, she was amazing live (better than studio version!)
Mário Longhi I wonder each time, how all these guys can sound so beautiful: the mix is always very precise, you can listen to anybody who you interested in. Just great work of hosts, sound and video engineers... just amazing. =)
It would be absolutely incredible to see this band with brass and orchestral sections like they talk about during the interview
Beautiful music
thanks for this beauty! hugs from Italy!
how good is the harmonizing by the back up singer!!
saw them live by accident in Copenhagen on a weekly summer event called Friday rock. unbelievable and I am hooked. I'm south african and live in London. keep up the great work and would love to see them live again - hopefully in Iceland👌
Tivoli ❤️ :) :)
But I missed them this round :(
Maybe someday, someplace else ...
Can't wait for them to come to Australia on the 8th next month!
Does anyone knows where can I buy his shirt?
Great music great guys
Ásgeir!
these guys are too good omg
Love the show, but please learn how to pronounce "It"
Amasing singer, awesome music! Takk!
the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while :P
this is amazing ...
Only just discovered Ásgeir's beautiful music, why didn't I find it sooner?
Your English translation is perfect. Your entire team is just STELLAR thank you for your beautiful music. Cat, Golden Colorado USA XD
😍💜
Icelandic Pinback
I should have gone to his concert that was held last year in Seoul. I wanna listen his music in front of him.
내한한적이 있나요?!
+Hs Kim 작년 1월 17일에 현대카드 5 nights에서 공연했어요 (루디멘탈이 급 취소해서 4 nights가 되긴 했지만..).
I just learned how heinously wrong I've been pronouncing his name this whole time. Sorry man. This music resonates hard, all of it. So much talent!
is it just me or this guy seems to be the Icelandic version of Chet Faker? Both talented and similar voices. Just thinking out loud...
magic from north
best stoners music ever
KEXP! Love you, people radio!
Music from island......
Oooh I love him so much
wow.........
seeing, hearing, guys...making beautiful music...gets me high
Powerful music, very intense. Love the instrumental :)
I was in Iceland once, and believe me, you can feel this kind of music in the air.
I mean that in the nicest way possible, truly...
bliss
Any tell me what drum midi pad the drummer is using?
ROLAND SPD-SX
+M. Martin It's an SPD-SX - not a midi pad per se although it does have midi functionality.
KEXP, the greatest radio station in the world.
Beautiful I bet Gods weeps 2 this song
Amazing live performance! 🔥
wow. such a complex sound. i love this!

Manuel Nuer
Great Artist; Band & Music.....

That drummer's beard is dope
I cry with joy when they perform!
You're amazing Asgeir
I need to know Helki's last name!
Helgi Svavar Helgason is his name
your passion so refreshing
Tnx KEXP!
Amazing. I love it
