Hania Rani - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, July 9, 2022.
Not every great KEXP session is loud. The Polish pianist and composer layers piano, synths and her voice into slow-building pieces like "Ghosts" and "Buka," and the 36 minutes play like a single, carefully paced concert. It has become one of the most-watched sessions of recent years, and it is the one to put on late at night or while working.

Amyl and The Sniffers - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, October 6, 2022.
Nineteen minutes of the Melbourne pub-punk band at full volume. Amy Taylor owns the small room from the first bar of "Don't Fence Me In," and "Guided by Angels" and "Hertz" go by in a sweaty blur. There is no slow song to catch your breath, which is exactly the point. Pick this one when you want proof that punk still works best up close.

Hermanos Gutiérrez - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, September 14, 2023.
Just two brothers, Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez, and two guitars. Their instrumental songs sound like the soundtrack to a desert Western, with the guitars doing all the storytelling, and the stripped-down setup makes every note count. "El Bueno y El Malo" and "Tres Hermanos" are the highlights. A calm, cinematic 28 minutes, and proof that a session doesn't need a full band to fill the room.

Danny Brown - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, March 30, 2024.
Danny Brown brings more than a DJ. Kassa Overall, who produced part of Brown's 2023 album Quaranta, plays live drums next to DJ Skylar Tait, and that gives "Tantor" and "Jenn's Terrific Vacation" a jittery, jazz-tinged edge you won't hear on the record. Brown is sharp, funny and fully present, and it is one of the most rewarding hip-hop sessions in the archive.

KOKOROKO - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, October 23, 2024.
Seven musicians squeeze into the studio, led by trumpeter Sheila Maurice-Grey and percussionist Onome Edgeworth, and the London band turns it into a warm, horn-driven party. Their music blends Afrobeat with jazz and highlife, and "Higher" and "Tojo" glide on rhythms that are tight and relaxed at once. Put it on to brighten a gray afternoon.

Fat Dog - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, October 25, 2024.
The London five-piece throws punk, dance beats and squalling saxophone together into something wonderfully unhinged, and the studio gives every strange turn room to land. "King of the Slugs" is the centerpiece, a seven-minute lurch that keeps changing shape. If you like your live sets chaotic but well played, this is the wildest card in the recent part of the list.

Wet Leg - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, September 9, 2025.
Two months after their second album, moisturizer, Wet Leg arrived as a five-piece with a louder, tougher sound than the deadpan indie of their early hits. Rhian Teasdale leads "catch these fists" and "CPR" with real bite, and the band plays like a group that has spent years on the road. It has drawn a huge audience and is the clearest look at the new Wet Leg.

MJ Lenderman - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
Recorded in the KEXP studio, September 18, 2025.
MJ Lenderman writes funny, sad little songs about ordinary losers, and his band plays them like a loose, ragged country-rock outfit. Pedal steel and fiddle push "Wristwatch" and "Rip Torn" toward Crazy Horse territory while the jokes in the lyrics still land. It is a fine snapshot of one of indie rock's most talked-about songwriters of the mid-2020s.
