El Ten Eleven helped me through undergrad and into med school. As a doctor, I look back on those hours I'd spend listening as I crammed in books and worked out. I loved the lack of words, just letting your mind be free with good tunes.
So.... i hear this on one of our many internet provider radio stations (you know, wont plug it). anyhow, i was blown away right off the bat, being a musician i understood note for note the power of this music. I honestly envisioned a band of four hipsters persay.... well i have to say, HOLY SHIT! My jaw dropped when i saw this video....speechless. im just blown away, THIS IS MUSIC. two guys one impressive wall of sound, moving and passionate is an understatement to describe these artists's, true artists's. El ten eleven who ever you guys are, THANK YOU....
I can listen to this all day. I enjoy all their albums, and found them cathartic to listen to in law school, and find them equally pleasing and almost focusing now that I am an attorney. There are few bands I can listen to and do something as complex as drafting a summary judgment motion or reviewing a case file, but el ten eleven is certainly one of them. They bridged my gap between following Phish and becoming an attorney, and it says a lot that they have endured as one of my newer favorites.
The reason I keep coming back to this guys is not because of the lyrocal content (because their is none obviously) or even because they're more technical on either of their instruments. It's because they're bloody thought provoking!!! Man these guys take me somewhere else every time I just want to sit and think.
@jguidotti72 if you look you can see he has two different boss rc-20s, so that means a lot of capability there already. then he has a digitech JamMan looper as well. I also see an octavizer, digitech whammy pedal, an xp100 whammy/wah pedal, chromatic tuner, a dd-20 delay, bass overdrive, and the green one is a boss tremolo, and my guess is a blues driver on the top far right of his right pedalboard. :D
When I saw them last Fall, he actually had two separate Blues Drivers (different gain settings) and I'm fairly certain one or the other was on the whole time.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell how your feeling with words in this case the instruments are talking having conversations off each other and to the listener telling us a story
they don't need a singer, they've already achieved critical acclaim and released 5 albums as an instrumental band. that's the way their fans like them.
what a crazy guy. so talented. I wish i had all that shit, but i just use a boss me-70 and a digitech whammy for most of my shit. it works surprisingly well if you avoid the amp modeling.
Looks to me like some 16 in hh hi hats, and on one of the other videos I saw prototype written on it. I think greenbrier music sells something similar if you were interested.
Nothing against El Ten Eleven (in fact, this song is awesome), but show me examples about the "critical acclaim" you mentioned. And, please I'm not trying to convince you in nothing
All of your UA-cam comments are pointless and completely subjective. I don't understand who would take the time to post only negative comments on videos.
I am a teacher and I play your music while students work quietly. Nothing works so well.....thanks!

try tycho they've got multiple albums of instrumentals
Ive done the same and shared them many times over. Spread the word!

11 years later and this hasn't aged a bit. Amazing song that just stays with you forever. I hope to see you live one day.
12 years later. I'm here. One of my fondest

This has gotta be some of the most beautiful music I've heard recently. Love the subdued energy.

T serd we absolutely adore it.
I don't know how people can't like this. Much better than what's on the charts. Listen to my only swerving by El ten eleven. My favourite.
KEXP your engineering is always so spot on. love your recordings of such special bands.
My college teacher just showed us a video with this song on the background, now its on my playlist!! I love it!!!
Yep, this just made my day 10x better.
Incredible. Phenomenal musicianship and technical proficiency. Fucking Amazing. The musical chemistry these guys have is otherworldly. Perfect.
Amazing sound..loved every minute
Always nice to see incredible musicians making a living.

I actually won one of the RC-20s on Ebay and Kristian signed it for me. 🙏
That was rad
Pinche banda chingona (:

John Richards is diggin' it.
The fallowing El Ten has is more emotional than deadmouse could ever have.
The was rad.
this song live is so much better than the studio one you can buy on itunes...
Fogarty's kit sounds so damn good!
it would be very interesting to have some guest singers
HEY EVERYONE..... That was totally rad
Epic

Yeah, I googled it, but I look for reviews from Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NME, some newspapers, but nothing. Forgot about these ones...
Gary Hustwit chooses the right band for the right documentary, this song was featured in one of his design trilogy film, Helvetica :)
what a crazy guy. so talented.
I wish i had all that shit, but i just use a boss me-70 and a digitech whammy for most of my shit. it works surprisingly well if you avoid the amp modeling.
Wow.
The song is good until 3:47 then it's great. Love how they take it easy at the end like in central nervous piston.
sick drummer
Yeah! Helvetica!
Just noticed it begins and ends on the same note phrase
@jguidotti72 he's using the whammy on what i think is a digitech whammy pitch shifter :)
The song hot cakes got me into them
Fuckin rad
why is the mic on the floor tom not turned on? :(
Looks to me like some 16 in hh hi hats, and on one of the other videos I saw prototype written on it. I think greenbrier music sells something similar if you were interested.
left handed drummer ;)
The build up at 3:18
do you know what post rock is?
At some angles, the drummer reminds me of Jamie Lannister xD
NOKIA N9 SONG PRECHARG LIST.
Jesus, why the people hated this comment?? He suggested, that's all
And hold up... At like 5:00ish he's got a set of like 20 inch hi hats!!

Didnt know Harvey Dent could play the drums
Rad.
CCCCCCCCOMBO BREAKER! *The guy/girl below me*
SUPREME VICTORY!
Kspc 88.7FM KSPC.ORG well that's S. Cali
I honestly don't understand why Kristian Dunn doesn't just play a Chapman stick...

*comment not about radness*
holy shit i forgot real musicians still existed. fuck!
if this band has a singer it would just distract us from what they are doing on their instruments
One Direction
dat roto tom
why? so the singer can take all the attention away from whats really important in a band? instrumentals are so much better.
take some more drugs and never love a living soul... coool...
Lots of sound from two talented guys. Add a lead singer and I think you've got something really good here.
this. A singer ruins their music
I don't like this.
That was rad.
