High Llamas

Some folks believe a live High Llamas show lacks enthusiasm or pizazz, but I disagree entirely. Sean O’Hagen, the genius behind the music, is a subtle and unmatched wit at times. Recently I checked out a show at San Francisco’s Bottom of the Hill (with Joanna Newsome opening the show— I’ll devote a post entirely to her beautiful sound sometime soon). Don’t know if it was the intimate setting or O’Hagen’s poignant political comments on our current administration that cushioned the evening, but what a display of musical professionalism and discipline I witnessed that evening.

Thanks to that wonderful archive at KVRX I can relay these live-in-studio sounds to you:
