If you try to dissect what makes up Kishi Bashi’s sound, you’ll find little snippets of The Shins, ELO, Prince, Neon Indian, Earth Wind & Fire, Maroon 5, Pink Floyd and about a million others. But, he doesn’t unabashedly cop their styles. Instead, he carefully curates everything like he’s making a rich musical gumbo poured over downtempo dance beats.
Opening act Sweet Loretta also served as Kishi Bashi’s backing band. Though the music was solid from the start, it took him a few songs before he dialed in his groove. By “Marigolds," his voice was hitting on all cylinders, and the crowd reacted in full force. Their cheers amplified, which seemed to feed Kishi Bashi, exciting the audience even more.Kishi Bashi's backing band knows how to put on a full show even in an intimate space.
Friday's highlights included a solo rendition of “This Must Be The Place” by Talking Heads and Bashi's rock opera contender “Icarus IV." It wouldn’t be surprising if a Broadway producer heard this song from his newly released album and begged him to collaborate on a project. Every song could’ve been a highlight, as no moment stuck out as a lull or misstep. Even the occasional technical error seemed more like a fun moment than a distraction.
Though he’s been known to work a massive festival crowd just as masterfully, the true beauty of this show was how the Kessler’s intimate room allowed everyone to take an hour-and-a-half break from the real world. Heading into the middle of the crowd for his encore, it really did feel more like friends banding together on a musical adventure than your average touring show.
