I am currently swooning over the above video of Thee More Shallows playing their song Ask me about Jon Stross live and acoustic on a couch. I’ve been a big fan ever since I saw them open for Why? a few years ago. They have a very low key, new-folk style, but the music has so much depth and atmosphere that goes straight to the soul. I love this version where they are playing acoustically and even more lo-fi than usual, especially how the drummer is just playing on a pillow and it still seems to sound so nice.
Apparently it’s part of a video series of many artists playing in this style. You can see a full list of all of the videos here.
A few of the highlights, in my opinion, are these:
#27 Mattafix - Angel (Love the steel drums in this)
#28 Cocoon - Hey ya (Seriously beautiful Outkast cover)
#31 Syd Matters - Everything Else (Great look, better music)
#36 Scout Niblett - Wet Road (Strained vocals and furrowed eyebrows)
#42 Jose Gonzales - The Nest (Just straight up talent and beautiful music)
Be sure to view these in high quality for better sound!
