kexp has to have some of the best recording engineers in the business. Even youtube compressed, it's so freaking alive
You nailed it, Vincent!
Pretty basic stuff. Its there job not a bedroom studio hobby. Pretty sure all these people have college degrees in the subject. It better sound good lol
@@jared9977 Lmao. You probably have a college degree and still don't know how to properly compose a sentence. Couldn't just let the compliment pass, eh? 😂🤣😂🤣
@@Sokiem99 nope
Damn right!
In my opinion, the best performance of HÆLOS. KEXP sound level magical. I return to this moment repeatedly. Pure magic of sound. Wonder.
This is sehr gut. So much noise and far away sounds of the past. Beat please
This is peak Haelos, I think their other album is pretty meh. This performance is just incredible.
I'm here again. Again and again. I enjoy the sound. The level is that I can smell it, feel an emotion, feel a vibration. I could write a book about this performance. Magic.
@@mtrxQuarks Ya I don't know what it is about this set, but it makes me feel something inside. Just beautiful. I watch it over and over.
Same here. Bought this album, like this performance better. This is the 'real cut'
The kexp sound guy deserves a raise
I'll second that!!
Kevin Suggs
Kevin Suggs is a legend. The guy can take literally any genre of music and produce it to perfection.
Do you think they have a low salary?
It good
I keep coming back listening to this exact performance for years. It's perfect in every sense. Thank you. epic experience!
Agreed... I own Full Circle and Any Random Kindness... I listen to both over and over. But this performance is unique and such great quality!!! Plus this video was how I discovered Haelos
Same here
yep )) hi
same here
same bro, this vid is gas, i also discovered them with this
I’m a radio operator in Italy and I send you my compliments for the music selection and for the incredible quality of your recordings and sound engineers I’m really impressed.
Forza
I agree...AMAZING !!!!

Just bought their album, Full Circle. I've played it about 10 times or more. They are Fantastic!!! I'm a 60 year old, male, music lover. My five greatest discoveries this year have been Haelos, London Grammer, Tash Sultana, Michael Kiwanuka & Alabama Shakes. All this thanks mainly to this UA-cam channel: KEXP!!!! Thanks folks, keep it up!!
Similar lineup to some of my recent finds. Also try Parker Mislap, Tinariwen, Rhye, and Khruanbin.
Thanks for the tips
Try Bon iver.
Tash Sultana is amazing artist! She is my discover of the year too.
The same for me. If you're into Tinariwen's genre of Sahara Blues I recommend: Terakaft, Tamikrest, Bombino (who performed here too) and Imarhan
KEXP has the greatest recording Engineers on the planet. I wish you guys could record every album by every band everywhere all the time forever.
No shit!
6 years later and I still LOVE LOVE LOVE watching this recoding. Shimmering and amazing!
I've come back to listen to this recording many times over the years as well. It's brilliant!
Drummer doesn't get enough praise, that is some clean playing. Beautiful and musical playing too. It makes the drummer in me very happy.
Wow found this band today, what a sound pure talent 👏 2023
Lucky man - Great day 🙏
Now You’ll be stuck with Haelos like a full year listening 😂
I just found this in 24. 63 and discovering new music by talented young people with real soul is a joy in these grey times. Thank you
One of the best spent 30 minutes of my life. I keep revisiting this recording regularly. It's pure bliss!
I was feeling so down, so pointless and at a loss of faith. Thank you KEXP x HAELOS to keeping the spark of life alive.
Music always has a way of healing the soul 🙏 it is the universal language that connects all of humanity together as a whole. It was 7 years ago when this video came out and it found me at a time of despair and need in my life. I can relate 100%
the interviewer is the best, she is always so informed and makes the whole thing fell so natural. i´m sure bands fell pretty comfortable there. Thanks KEXP.
Ayooo
Sheryl Waters is a national treasure.
She is the Queen Mama of all music radio hosts.
Indeed! And she's soooo sweet!!
Get utter Spirit Of Eden Vibes off the start of this Hælos are absolutely fantastic
@KEXP: These live recordings of these particular songs of HAELOS are undoubtedly their best recordings. You should make these recordings of each of the songs available here and Spotify.
Thanks to the unparalleled skills of your sound engineers, this wonderful band has achieved an otherworldly sound all-together!
This is in the top 100 best live performances of all time... its gotta be
till you listen over 100 tunes :)
@@TheDemzar I’ve listened probably 2,000 times at this point
top 10. i can't think of anything better. i have first heard it yesterday. its soooooo amazing,
Drummer's play is so clean and precise !
That guy is a machine - so great.
Yeah he really is flawless.
David Di yup. Unique. Alot going on in there for him to keep such a poise . And he is all heart with his drumming too
He's the highlight of the band!
There's actually two percussionists.
The drummer is amazing!!! He hits notes perfectly.
The thing is that the sound is so great that you hear every move of the drummer. So awesome ;)
KEXP sound engineers best in the business hands down. No half assed shit here. Every band gets the full 100percent treatment; no matter who you are.
With KEXP I have discovered so many talented musicians. HÆLOS is a brilliant. Thank you, KEXP.
Me too! Best radio station ever
This was 6 years ago... Where I was then... They are awesome.
PRAY DON'T FALL DOWN I bet I've listened to this around 50 times since it first came out. Need it just as much now in 2023 as in 2016. Thank you for this song.
Life should be eternal, just to enjoy music like this forever. That feeling when listening something new is like falling in love or a thing like that, so beautiful. Thanks Haelos and Kexp
Hell yea! I talk about that all the time. That feeling of finding new music. No better feeling. When the Tune Gods bless
Life is eternal. Depends on how You define Yourself😉
The best comment
Every song in this performance sounds even better than the album version. Just incredible.
Still one of my all-time KEXP performance favorites. 💖💖💖
Amazing band overall, but the drummer just makes everything come together.
Here dude. The cake. Take it.
@Lothar Lustig I agree and I’m a lead singer …. This drummer is exceptional. But I feel that way about a great bass player too😂
@@toulad5317 They're all important. It's not a competition
This drummer is insane!
Some critics says Haelos is coming too late to all, but for me is fresh air, are the sound and lyrics that make you love music. World needs more Haelos.
The music from this amazing band is out of this world. All the 2012 is really good also.
Never too late for this offering
Almost 2023.. Still loving these guys!
Interesting, no bassist. There is no slacking off for the drummer, he's got to bring it and fill the spaces. Brilliant, to be able to reproduce that huge wall of sound live.
1. Pray 0:34
2. Earth Not Above 5:52
3. Dust 18:00
4. Oracle 22:52
Thanks :)
+BlackhawkX02 awesome! thanks
the times are wrong

Azoth Hunter Wondered about that myself, but it is from when they start playing. 30 second intro, 2 songs starting on cue followed by some chat and 2 more songs.
I live in Australia, i'm old and i love music, KEXP has got me into about 20 new bands/artists etc, but VERY into them, mail order, t shirts, playlists, vinyl. Love.
Taste and wisdom 2 know the difference
How is it that KEXP manages to introduce me to the best music ever. No BS here. Every time I hear a new artist I say they are in my top 10. You did it again. Thank God for the internet and thank God for KEXP. And if this discovery is Sharon’s doing…Thank God for her.

@@haelosmusic Wunderful. Voice, harmonics, ideal. Bravo
Could not agree more!
Love this. I'm also in my 60s and also love Aurora, Alice Phoebe Lou, Of Monsters and Men, Eivor, Wagakki Band, Sofi Tukker, Bjork, Lisa Girard, Agnes Obel..... There are so many talented musicians out there.
Congratulations, You just subtracted 20 years off your age
Try London Grammar ...
check out bon iver (start with flume) :)
Love agnes obel.
wow, you're my music taste twin
no wonder we loved this group too 😅
Big kudos to KEXPs sound engineers. This is one of these cases where I prefer the kexp recording over their own produced album just for sound quality reasons (despite youtube using opus VS. whatever the heck spotify web player is using). Other notable examples: Daughter, Jose Gonzales, etc.
Exact experience I had after just discovering this band. Really amazing work all around.
@@Gandalf721 Sure this is still the case? UA-cam uses opus and it is decoupled from the video codec since a long time now I think. And opus is really good, like really really good. in 210kbit/s and upwards I don't hear a difference to flac and I'm really sensitive to compression artefacts in audio
Bands like Haelos will be the reason, why music was my first, and will be my last, LOVE!
Between UA-cam, and KEXP, more new, and interesting music have been brought to our attention, and we're all the beneficiaries of this. It's wonderful to hear music on UA-cam, before purchasing a CD, based on a single cut. And, I thank UA-cam, again, for providing this forum...
This station should make recordings of these performances and sell them sharing some of the revenue with the artist. This one I would definitely purchase. This band sounds a lot more powerful live than in the album. And the album is quite good.
I definitely agree
+Mauricio Noguera yeah make a few 100 song mixtapes! it'd be so tough narrowing it down from the 9500 en counting bands that they've hosted but totally worth a shot..!
+Mauricio Noguera
Couldn't agree more, this sounds so good, warmer and fuller...
or since it's a non-profit station, you could donate to thank them for all of the free content they happily provide for us.
I think your missing the point. Whilst im happy they do provide these sessions here on UA-cam and i will be donating some money to them we are requesting the higher quality and better sound of this recording over the album version which i have already purchased. The album sounds lifeless and cold compared to this version...theres definitely no emotional connection to the album version which is disappointing!
The percussion section sounds absolutely amazing.
Just brilliant....real instruments...awesome harmonies... with a blend of electronics...
I love the fact they have two drummers, sounds so powerful
I'm blown away, so happy I found this. I should be sleeping but music.
"UA-cam why are you pushing a 4 year old performance at me"... watches 7 mins... "Oh I can see why!"
lol, same, exactly the same. :)
... because it is looking out for your best interests
Same
same tbh
Every. Single. TIme KEXP delivers a quality new music experience for me. I'm a Seattle native and I think even with Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, and Costco being homegrown, I couldn't imagine a world without this HOME TOWN radio station and these AMAZING recording engineers that produce these unbelievable recordings.
Dozens and dozens of listening times on this video!!!!
She is sooo beautiful!
at all they cool
*Sʜᴇ - 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢 - ɪs Mᴀɢɴɪғɪᴄᴇɴᴛ.*
She's very talented singer.
@@LundInc Yes, what a beautiful name - Lotti Benardout
She is gorgeous indeed. And man "she can sing"!
Goosebumps. One of the best performances I have seen on KEXP.
Discovered these lot a year before lockdown and they were a large part of what kept me sane during it. Thanks Haelos!
00:00:34 - Pray
00:05:52 - Earth Not Above
00:18:00 - Dust
00:22:52 - Oracle
The best time, the best music!
What a performance.
I discovered so much new music after finding Haelos. Really got me into trip hop and the likes of
Massive Attack, Portishead, Unkle, Sneaker Pimps, Tricky, DJ Krush, Allflaws
I can totally relate.
Check out Vok as well
I so love KEXP.
They keep introducing me to some new (for me at least) bands!
It's amazing!
I want to thank you guys! Keep up the good work!
Blesses
+André Mello samee hereee
+André Mello yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
KEXP rules.
+André Mello I stop here often to see what's up! :)
Me too. Been an absolute goldmine for great music.
the drummer is sooo cruelly good my god!!!!
it's 2024 and this sounds heavenly, pure magic!
One of the best recordings out there on the internets. Wow.
I just stumbled upon Haelos a couple days ago after seeing Neko Case live in Houston, and am blown away with their music! I am also a 60 year old musician that have been in music all of my life primarily married to the bass guitar. I am very critical of music and it takes a lot to captivate me...Haelos has captivated and is one of those unique phenomenal sound and musicianship!!! In love with you guys sound!!! Vocals are killer!!!
I keep wondering.
How is it possible to be so beautifull?
not my style of music at all but every once and a while, sometime music will come out of nowhere and simply stun you .This is one of these times.
I like your perspective, thanks for sharing it.
Lloyd Dieser wow. You just articulated exactly what I was thinking. Not usually my style but haelos floored me. Bands like SAMARIS, haelos , and others have done exactly that , to a fella that usually has a much different list of bands in the mix hhaha
heh I was just thinking this exact same thing as I was listening to it lol
Lloyd Di
Sonically pleasing
you'll never know how much this relief my anxiety when im starting to have an atack.
Her voice , the rythm , the aesthetic, everything is just so soothing.
the sound quality is amazing. Cosmos
Haelos deserve to be massive...
attack
pkg996 agreed . It's just that they come from multiple other band products, and i feel like they aren't active enough to be giant yet
P.s. I get your massive attack hint too hahahH
I agree
The vocals on the first song reminded me of Portugal. The Man. Awesome
this is the case when a band sounds better live than on Studio recordings. Awesome!
Jam Fre Wall, thank you KEXP sound engineer
I own this Full Circle album and it is very beautiful but their live performances bring out so much personality and emotions
agreed.
Same is with "The Do" performance! Better sound and and more emotional! Thank you guys!
Like how they sing together (all three vocalists) - it's a great sound.
KEXP is the gift that keeps on giving. Production is not of this planet.
This live recording sounds much richer and deeper than the same pieces on Spotify. I hope the album will sound like this KEXP session. All in all awesome!
Loving the glimpse of the new KEXP digs, mood lighting and all!
The KEXP version is superb - packs a lot more punch than their recorded version (which seems to have only electronic drums, and does not have the extra spice from the tambourines ... Awesome talent ....
Its still them ,😉👀🙏
Never had heard HÆLOS before, but the moment I heard Alan speaking I knew, I was gonna love them. And I do
KEXP is the Abbey Road of todays studio production that brings the viewer/listener into the presence of the performers. Recently watch the recording of Sofi Tukker (felt like i was in the studio), now this production from KEXP, the presentation of a band that brings their intensity of their sound to the masses. Turn up the volume on your speakers, crank up the bass, sit back and enjoy a soothing audio ecstasy.
Deep diving into the archives of the KEXP archives and definitely supporting a true presenter of the music that is desired by todays listeners. (footnote-i found this via a rabbit hole suggestion of youtube)
Excellent percussion, and a fine sound. I thought this was fantastic.

i cant stop listening to this
Oracle is absolutely stunning. The music has probably the most substance I've ever heard in a song. So much going on without bottle-necking the song. Beautiful.
It does not get better than this!
Perfect in every way, even after the 1000th listening I get goosebumps all over and a huge smile om my face.
Жена заиста одлично пјева! Какав глас. Браво Лоти.
I love how the 1st song starts with a sample of Alan Watts, that's just so cool! so cool! Did I say how cool it was haha.
Stunning sound! I don't think you could ever get bored of this, there's just so much depth to it!
Depth. Exactly. And i didn't know who that was in the beginning speaking ...so thankyou.
I can't stop listening to this entire album. So so good.
Pray - 0:30
Earth Not Alone - 5:49
Dust - 18:01
Oracle - 22:48
+Maria Gomez Oracle is FANTASTIC!
Yup!! C:
The KEXP producer is a badass
Efraimsson sooooo many times I have been turned onto bands I wouldn't have ever heard, due to normally listening to a much different style... but kexp reminds me on "tiny desk productions" with less politics. I like the political aspect of channels that present tiny desk, don't get me wrong... but kexp just shines the music for music sake. They have handed me so many bands I never would have heard. Jah9, Still Corners, Healos, SAMARIS, so many ore gems
@@theesweetscience2500 that's it, and let it be
When they gave platform for Aldous Harding i FaINTED
《Thee Sweet Science》 they’re not producing the music though right? Just Curating?
@@Fee.1 I think he means the producer of the show itself, (Live on KEXP). You are managing staging/lighting/audio, cameras and other equipment plus scheduling and coordinating with the bands...etc. When the music was originally recorded by the band, they used a producer as well. Ditto for official music videos.
what a lovely singer
KEXP - Home of the real music!
Cheryl said it already: Super-clear wide-screen sound, gigantic, beautiful.
Something to fall into, just like into a cushion. Highly proficient band with elegant vocal parts. Haelos is one of the best among all the good music here.
Это просто потрясающая группа!!!!!
Как услышал в 2016 году, так не могу перестать восхищаться от этого звучания! Просто потрясающе!!!👍👍👍👍
Великобритания опять подарила миру музыки новое и неподражаемое звучание!👏👏👏👏👏
Да тут они как всегда впереди....
А у меня сейчас стойкая ассоциация с 2020 годом и странными временами ковида.
Прямо як спецоперація, так?
i knew i would like them when i hear Alan Watts come through

Thank you KEXP for so beautiful music.
How have I missed them before now. EPIC group and wonderful sound, KEXP! Thank you for this gem of a set!
I found this clip by mistake, but for the last 2 weeks I can't stop from playing it and listening it again and again.
The sound is so good, much more beter than the real clips..
HAELOS, I Like your music it is SUPER !!
Lotti, your voice is amazing...!
Thanks to KEXP.
She is the best and most genuine music host I've ever come across, she is excellent and genuinely curious about where the music comes from! I don't know her name and feel ashamed that I don't...but, she's a blessing to music...I love her for what she does! She's a gem...if you read this, you're a GEM!
Yes she is great, her name is Cheryl Waters would love to be interviewed by her one day.
You should eat less molly:) JK
this is amazing, the sound is fresh and clean... a new gift of kexp for me jaja

Agree, it suprised me

Brought me back to 1999 when I bought the Moby Play album. Suddenly I was 23 again and just surfing everyday!
Incredible. Can't believe I've just heard about these guys. Life isn't fair.
WOW WOW WOW NEW FAN. LOVE IT. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK. 53 and been rocking for ages. These songs moves me, enlightens my sonnet nerve. Boys Town Choir Alumni. Go Kids GO. Love your music.
This is my discovery, why haven't I found this band before? A great realization.
Others xall it algorithms ,i call it fate and taste through frequency
I just love Cheryl Waters and KEXP.
I love how the drummer focuses on his performance at 5:57 and starts the next song without letting the interviewer finish.
Love this music performance by HAELOS! First time hearing HAELOS music, definitely some Magic and Love being pored into these songs. Keep up the magical music coming out! I'll need to purchase some of your music. Also thanks to everyone that was involved in capturing the recording of the rich music and video, the sound is amazing! Feel like I'm at a small music venue watching this.
Seriously, the sound quality of this set is pure bliss!
Am I one of only a few still listening to this masterful offering?.🙏

This music is truly on another level
The sound quality of this set is just amazing :)
This band doesn’t need to grow any higher - it’s already reached the perfection 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Vök live on KEXP brought me to HAELOS. Happy to discover this band !! The first song reminds me of "Unfinished Sympathy" from Massive Attack.
It sounds mesmerizing. HÆLOS plays as beautiful as always, but also, a big shout-out to KEXP engineers.
This group is so... damn... GOOD. Perfectly layered and lush instrumentation and vocal harmonizing. Love it!
